Pros

Good place to start your career and learn GMP. The first three months of training is very comprehensive, but training after that is very basic. You get exposed to multiple techniques.

Cons

Low wages. Career progression is very limited. Very high turnover. Workload can be very high at times. Majority of management are either toxic or unqualified. Senior management was brought in to address concerns, but nothing was done

Pros

Provided health insurance. Good coworkers Good exposure to team at client site If you have a good technical lead, the job can be great!

Cons

You have 2 bosses (Technical lead from Client Site) and your PPD boss. PPD Boss does not know what is going on If you have a bad technical lead, your life can be miserable. Pay is low No protection from abusive technical lead (coworkers on same team can have a drastically different experience)
