Pros

-The benefits were very comprehensive. -There were a lot of great staff/teams to work with. -For those not on a client site, the schedule flexibility was a nice perk (especially during COVID)

Cons

- Internal policies were always changing and implemented without proper communications. - Senior leaders did not have a lot of contracting experience and therefore were not great mentors for growth - Too much emphasis on advanced scientific degrees when they are not needed for the job (i.e. a manager with a bachelors needed to have 5+ years more experience than a PhD, which logically makes no sense) - Poor professional development - they emphasize that there is professional development but the budgets are very limiting to actual training, certs, or education. - Senior leadership is too business-focused and not people-focused when it comes to staff who have problems/concerns. The client is "always right" even when they aren't, and the company doesn't defend the staff when needed.
