Pros

-Great community, supportive coworkers, kind management; the office is run in a way that's intended to foster strong friendships

Cons

-Long work hours; instilled culture of showing up early (6:45am) and staying late (most nights past 6pm) -Work hard play hard attitude that, more often than not, interferes with getting your work done (long group lunches, playing games during the work day, etc.) and typically results in longer work days since you'll have to stay later -Cold-calls. All day. For months until you build a network. You're essentially a telemarketer for the entire first year you work there. -Base pay in major cities isn't too far off from the official poverty line income rate. The salaries they flash around when you're interviewing are those of people who've worked countless hours for years, so don't be fooled into thinking it'll be your salary any time soon.

Pros

good contract customer was expectin at least a year plus of working with a a company called microsoft. made good friends at the last job i did with them.

Cons

contract barely lasted 5 months for me, less for others. I felt used as a tax write off, They laid us off without notice. We had suspected it would happen again after the first time 300 people got let go. When it happened the first time we were surprised now the second time I got to be angry. They lack communication and knowing how to handle an overpopulated work place and proper protocol about laying people off. for some people who relocated and they have still not recieved pay and since their contract is over they may not even recieve it.
