Pros

It’s a job, the people are nice to work with.

Cons

50 hours a week is not enough time to handle the work load provided. The business is predicated on having more work than people to do it. There is no way in this position to regulate the amount of work at any giving time, theoretically you could have an unlimited amount of work that is needed to be completed immediately.

Pros

Provided health insurance. Good coworkers Good exposure to team at client site If you have a good technical lead, the job can be great!

Cons

You have 2 bosses (Technical lead from Client Site) and your PPD boss. PPD Boss does not know what is going on If you have a bad technical lead, your life can be miserable. Pay is low No protection from abusive technical lead (coworkers on same team can have a drastically different experience)
