Pros

Much of management is tenured and have been with the company for a long time. Good people overall.

Cons

Very focused on northern California as that is where all the decision makers live -- they don't understand that San Francisco (and California) do business differently than other U.S. markets -- also, since they are tenured in San Francisco, they don't understand "start up" in markets where AI does not have name recognition.

Pros

Contracts your work to reliable clients and supports your efforts while under contract.

Cons

Automated job alerts can be too broad - based on one or two keywords in resume. At times job alerts are for positions that do not meet your qualifications or experience. But, this is not a dealbreaker. Keep on top of adjusting search parameters or type of work you seek.
