Pros

Overall, very nice people work there

Cons

Culture (Irvine, CA): Horrible work environment. No offices or cubicles. It's a free for all everyday. No sense of workspace or ownership. No privacy what so ever. You don't even get a desk phone. You get a laptop and mouse and every day you fight for your space to sit. The majority of the staff is made up of young (18-25yrs) that were promised the world. It's like a cult of overpromised and spoiled children. They are completely inexperienced but get promoted because they are part of this little cult. -Work hard and never smart because the processes are broken and the 12 systems that you use daily, don't talk to each other.

Pros

The colleagues I worked with were great, friendly, helpful. Because the colleagues were great, I'd love to work there full-time, but this was a short contract.

Cons

The supervisor I was ultimately working for had never worked in digital-related products, in which I had decades of experience. He seemed to be unaware of what every colleague would be telling me (I was interviewing colleagues using a software the manager was intending to propose use for firm-wide). Both the colleagues I interviewed, and the internal technical staff I was speaking with knew the project would not function as he seemed intent on ... forcing(?) it do so. I gave him the resulting report of its users' feedback, and I was finished with my contract. He had gone through 2 other women in this same role, already. And he hired a male after me who delivered esentially the same results. Because I wasn't there, I have no idea of the dream outcome this manager attained, or switched to, later.
