Pros

Gained exposure, experience and knowledge of different software during each engagement.

Cons

The assignments are not properly vetted and matched. While I was qualified for more senior level positions, I rarely was placed into those jobs. What I was told during some interviews was over inflated and not even close to reality. Some instances, you don’t realize that the expectations are unreasonable and unreachable until after you start the assignment. Who learns and becomes an expert at any job in 1-2 days, with very little training?? Candidates are expected to fulfill the contract, even when the environment is toxic. Candidate support in these instances is severely lacking. My RH manager ghosted me on multiple occasions when I sent emails or called about urgent matters and I had no idea who else I could report to, to have those issues resolved. Had a client that was absolutely terrible and expressed several times on my “weekly engagement report” all issues I was having. Candidate feedback is not relevant or respected. It's all about generating revenue to fulfil contracts, without care for the actual employees working on the assignments. If you’re not on a contract you are at risk being let go if you are on “bench time”.

Pros

Not much to say here, unfortunately.

Cons

In the technology practice, the unwillingness to adapt to a rapidly changing market can no longer be ignored. Too many decisions continue to be justified by the mindset of "this is the way we've always done things," even when those approaches are becoming less effective or counter-productive. While competitors evolve their business models, recruiting strategies, and client engagement practices, continues to be reluctant to challenge long-standing processes and assumptions. The impact of this resistance to change is becoming increasingly visible in the market. Clients and candidates have more options than ever before, and perceptions of the organization are being shaped by experiences that no longer align with current expectations. Without a willingness to listen to feedback and embrace new approaches, there is a real risk of causing lasting damage to the company's reputation, employee retention, and long-term competitiveness.
