Pros
Corporate and support related employees were all helpful and competent in their areas. Pay rate was great. Expenses paid too.
Cons
Managing Partner misrepresented the job/project expectations. Unfortunately, my contract stipulated I had to completely commit to the client (i.e. end another part-time contract that I had) which wasn't great for my income stream. As I got into the project, I learned the client company was insolvent financially so there would be no way the project could turn into a permanent job as had been advertised. In addition, there were illegal and unethical issues that I was faced with that I brought up to the Managing Partner. He told me to disregard it and continue on. Patina does not provide benefits until you work a certain amount of time and work full-time on their behalf. Patina also does not deploy talent to jobs in other states, or at least that is what I was told when I applied for another project I was qualified for and would have traveled to do.
