Great company, but it depends on who you work with.

Pros

Great perks to being a contracted employee. You get to partake in almost all of the events that official employees go to. There a strong sense of purpose among most of the technicians there. It varies from shift to shift. Most people are very nice and engaging, always wanting to do the best and be the best.

Cons

I got placed on a shift in the Production Services department where almost everyone resented their work and did the bare minimum to get by. There was a lot of playing the blame game on other shifts for problems occurring during operations. Not really a good way to progress. In addition my supervisor gave me no feedback whatsoever and definitely treated some employees favorably which was all to obvious.

Pros

Benefits and salary are competitive. 6 week sabbatical after 6 years of employment is a plus

Cons

Feedback is not received well. The environment can be somewhat petty. Diversity (other than gender) is lacking in field positions (outside of San Francisco)
