People - they manage to find good people to work contracts
Support - they try to support you as much as they can on projects
Location - cool building in a central location
Cons
Low pay, they will take advantage of you
Inconsistent project work - they have trouble with business development so once you're done with a contract you'll be back on the job market
Lack of diversity

Thank you for your review. We appreciate both the positive and negative feedback and we understand your concerns about workload and compensation.
Our business typically engages with clients in two ways, and both have unique demand and competition cycles. We work very hard to manage both types of engagements properly to minimize the impact on our employees. We are sorry that your experience was different.
As a USA-based employer we also do everything we can to provide market-rate compensation and benefits. We have seen the market for services like ours become increasingly competitive, especially with offshore and H1B contractors competing for the same contracts, yet we are encouraged by our success finding new opportunities with new clients with very different competitive dynamics.
I think if you were at Prowess today you would find our trajectory exciting. Thanks again for sharing your perspective.

Prowess is incredibly support of its employees, many of whom work as contractors at companies like Microsoft. The contractor position I have, and from what I've heard from others, they agree, is incredibly laid back. I would highly recommend the role.
Cons
Not being an actual employee of Microsoft has its drawbacks though. I have never really felt like a part of the team. I don't have any opportunities for promotions and have never received a proper raise, or any reason to go above and beyond the expectations of my manager. That said, its the best job I've ever had in terms of compensation vs time required in the role.
Teamwork, Support from management, fair compensation, nice office.
Cons
Some of the contracts are either short or temporary.
