Pros

Nothing, as I see on the positive side

Cons

Dumb work, firing without any reason, contractors are not human beings, they are treated like slaves, monkeys, donkeys or whatever u say...no training, they expect u to be a genious without guiding u even if u r new joinee, worst place in the world to work, u will feel suffocated and dying...lot of discrimination between permanent and contractors, on annual day the permanent employees will party somewhere in a resort and contractors have to work for 9 hours...permanent employees treat contractors as they themselves are jailors and contractors are criminals...join here if u want to experience these sweet things....

Pros

Opportunities to support global activities

Cons

Heavy micromanagement — frequent revisions on ppt to minor details like font size and colors. Frequently calling staffs even after work hours and lunch time. Manager often takes on additional work from other teams without considering current team workload, So the manager appears supportive and “nice” externally but creates additional burden to the subordinates. Manager controls team budget strictly for team-building activities (events and meals), team members feel restrictive and reluctant to participate, for example team members dare not order appetizers, dessert or drinks on top of entrees during team events. Manager used up most of the travel budget. Biz trip and personal travel boundaries are unclear, especially when manager frequently has business trips overlaps with personal travel. Seems like manager using biz trip to get free hotel and free air tickets for PTO.
