Pros

Conservative, quiet, you'll leave by 5pm every day no matter who you are.

Cons

The famous credo is a thing of the past. Pay raises and bonuses are based on butt kissing. You can cure cancer and if you haven't kissed enough butts you'll never get thanked. Company is misogynistic, racist, anti-Semitic and management is clueless and profoundly stupid. The smartest people are at the bottom, as you move up, vision and action cease.

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.
