Pros

The employees for the most part are hardworking folks. Engineers are worked to death but see the most potential for advancement, but generally anyone of the male gender has a great chance to move up in the company. When an employee leaves a team, whether by choice or by reassignment, the team absorbs that person's work and is expected to perform at the same level regardless of an often blatant need to backfill the position. If you like not knowing exactly what you're doing or why, you'll do just fine.

Cons

Bizarre decision making process, constantly in flux. Projects are taken on with great zeal and then either abandoned abruptly or left to founder as leaders' priorities are reassigned to satisfy upper management's whims. You're either all in or just waiting for every other Friday to collect your paycheck, which will constantly disappoint unless you're willing to drink the entire bucket of Kool-Aid.

Pros

— Legitimate portfolio work: the role involved a full website overhaul and product PDP writing, which has real value on a CV — The company name carries weight and looks good on paper

Cons

Pay was consistently late — sometimes by three weeks. No explanation, no heads up, no acknowledgment of the stress this creates for contractors who don't have the luxury of waiting indefinitely for money they've already earned. On the day-to-day side: we were required to produce detailed logs of everything we did — long, tedious activity lists that served no clear purpose and ate into actual work time. The broader culture was captured perfectly in a phrase that came up regularly in stakeholder meetings: "I won't fall on my sword" or "I won't die on that hill" — or some variation of it. Upper management had a consistent habit of deflecting accountability downward onto contract workers, who had the least power and the least protection. When things went wrong, contractors were the convenient explanation. When things went right, that credit traveled elsewhere. If you're considering a contract role here, get your payment schedule in writing and ask very specific questions about how your manager operates. What's described as a flexible, collaborative environment may look quite different once you're in it.
