Pros

Its your basic contracting company - no different from most except for the below

Cons

I was told I had to agree to multiple and continuous background checks as a condition of employment. This includes checks of your financial situation. I refused but when they threatened to fire me over this, I "agreed" under pressure and resolved to get a new job with someone else as soon as possible. If you like being treated like a criminal or an Uber driver, go for it. If you like giving someone permission to crawl through your financial history whenever they feel like it, then go for it. Me, I'm out.

Pros

Not much to say here, unfortunately.

Cons

In the technology practice, the unwillingness to adapt to a rapidly changing market can no longer be ignored. Too many decisions continue to be justified by the mindset of "this is the way we've always done things," even when those approaches are becoming less effective or counter-productive. While competitors evolve their business models, recruiting strategies, and client engagement practices, continues to be reluctant to challenge long-standing processes and assumptions. The impact of this resistance to change is becoming increasingly visible in the market. Clients and candidates have more options than ever before, and perceptions of the organization are being shaped by experiences that no longer align with current expectations. Without a willingness to listen to feedback and embrace new approaches, there is a real risk of causing lasting damage to the company's reputation, employee retention, and long-term competitiveness.
