Pros

Flexible Schedule Decent Experience Benefits are "ok" Good first job out of college, essentially a poorly paid internship

Cons

-The company is not based in the US so there is a huge culture gap -Terrible on-boarding process -Poor pay for the positions as they are using you to make profit from the companies that hired them -Education Assistance is fake (a lottery across the US for 5 people to get up to $1000 for classes that directly apply to their work contract) -HR & Payroll are based in India, so nobody to bring issues to -No ability to move up based on merit, you just have to sit in a chair for a few years. It's easier to get in at a higher position than to be promoted from within. - Company overspent on bike to work events in 2016 so the Company Holiday Party was held in a bowling alley, on a Thursday afternoon (4pm), where your spouse was not invited. Only yourself. Just saying. - Hourly employees get only 3 days off a year - My aerospace customer has a paid holiday shutdown for the last week of the year. Since there isn't any work during that week, QuEST expects you to use 5 days of vacation time (assuming you have that much), take unpaid days off, or you have to make a good justification to upper management why you should work that week. - Floating holidays became fixed holidays on specific days to align with my customer's additional company holidays. I went from having 5 extra days off, to having to take days off like Good Friday and such. - Company culture rewards laziness - Working slower to have more hours to bill your customer is "encouraged"

Pros

Mostly good people to work with. A couple bad apples. Flexible work schedule and accommodating when possible.

Cons

This is not a long term employer. No such thing as a direct hire full time employee. It is a contract company and when a contract is complete, so is your paycheck and/or job. True from junior employees up through executive staff. If you don't have billable hours to a contract, beware of the furlough/layoff. Very high turnover of employees. The bottom line will always win.
