Pros

Work Life Balance above average pay rate good location and cheap city

Cons

• If you are lucky probably you will get a seat quickly else it will take long enough to get a dedicated seat. You got to manage somehow with empty seats and using someone else’s phone. • Company has a very bad policy for contractors – contractors are not allowed to get color print outs; they have to park their cars outside the building irrespective how bad weather is and etc. • They will give you responsibility and will never give you control on the work. Sometimes you might have to struggle to get access to tools you need in your day to day development work. • Client is too particular about what you do at your desk – there will be escalation if you take your lunch on your desk, if you involve in long discussion about work at your desk , if you open personal emails, google, CNN.com, Yahoo.com for news or if you are on your phone. • You will hardly receive any appreciation from the client. • Will commit you long term and might terminate your tenure in the same day you join. This happened with many of the contractors. • This is not even fortune 500 company and during interview they expect you to be genius but will give you crappy work most likely. • No scope for second chance. • Too money minded. Not enough IT supplies and you will have to pay for your coffee. No free coffees guys. The only client I have seen in my career.

Pros

Competitive pay and good benefits

Cons

Way too much going and l everything is a priority. When concerns are brought up as management is struggling to stay above water daily due to leading multiple teams, having a dozen or more priorities and being in back to back meetings every day, the concerns get brushed off and manager is told to figure it out. Lack of long term departmental vision from Director and constant shift in direction. Director does not care about team members and when concerns brought up from team members through the manager to Director, they get brushed off. So much restructuring going on constantly and leades get replaced every few years due to that. Concerns about more outsourcing down the road as new 3rd party company is starting to take a major application and moving data to their data centers. New major solutions get picked without looking at multiple vendors and any research. Director has a tyrannical leadership style and shuts down conversations and suggestions from management. Director only cares about his image to his peers and people above him and does not care about people reporting to him or people that his managers lead. Management and individual contributors morale is low due to above reasons. Not a good long term place to work.
