Pros

- Generous employee benefits, especially if you make it to the 20-year mark - Company match to charities is the best in the market

Cons

- Very little protection and recourse for employees who have bad managers - Complaints sent to employee relations don't lead to any action, and managers can retaliate with no repercussions - The culture supports favoritism and less merit-based - Jobs are oversold during the recruitment process, and often lead to overqualified people doing work that is not aligned to what they were told

Pros

The colleagues I worked with were great, friendly, helpful. Because the colleagues were great, I'd love to work there full-time, but this was a short contract.

Cons

The supervisor I was ultimately working for had never worked in digital-related products, in which I had decades of experience. He seemed to be unaware of what every colleague would be telling me (I was interviewing colleagues using a software the manager was intending to propose use for firm-wide). Both the colleagues I interviewed, and the internal technical staff I was speaking with knew the project would not function as he seemed intent on ... forcing(?) it do so. I gave him the resulting report of its users' feedback, and I was finished with my contract. He had gone through 2 other women in this same role, already. And he hired a male after me who delivered esentially the same results. Because I wasn't there, I have no idea of the dream outcome this manager attained, or switched to, later.
