Pros

You can get good work experience here and there are some good people to work with.

Cons

On the consumer side there is a lot of inequality. There are a lot of bad managers that just act nice around others but really treat their workers poorly. It happens a lot across most groups and most of these managers are revered at the company and rewarded. It’s very political and the only way to get ahead is to have someone else that has a high status vouch for you.

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.
