Pros

Good health benefits and 401 (k) matching. They hired me as a W-2 employee vs a 1099 when I stressed that I needed healthcare benefits. Front-loaded PTO, which is great if you're in California

Cons

This place was a nightmare from the very beginning. Almost everyone I dealt with was in Brazil, and most of them had only a basic understanding of English and zero knowledge of US business culture. I experienced system issues with their payroll vendor, and they failed to provide any assistance. As a result, my first paycheck never hit my bank account. They scheduled all-day orientation meetings on my first day, despite my having informed them that the client had already scheduled me for meet-and-greets and project onboarding. They became annoyed that I had "no-showed" for these orientations. I told them that my team had meetings every day from 8:00 to 11:00 a.m., yet they continued to reschedule the meetings during those times. They were very proud to show me their new company video. Half of it was in Portuguese, and there were no English subtitles.

Pros

- Slightly above average hourly rates - Great inter-communication and feedback systems - Nice welcoming package

Cons

- Even when you are hired and assign to a long-term project these can be terminated as soon after 6 to 12 month which can lead to project hopping. - Performance doesn't matter, even if your client say high praises of you, by the end of the day money talks. - No further compensation a part from you hourly rate, no PTOs, no vacations.
