Pros

Free lunch, max 3 weeks pto

Cons

It was extremely toxic. Everyone was burnt out and overworked, so frustrations were often vented onto everyone around them. There were challenges both within the team and in cross-functional interactions. Everyone was stressed out. There were constant re orgs and new managers. There was an expectation to put in extra hours in the evenings and early mornings, and if you didn’t, it would be perceived negatively. I’ve had multiple coworkers leave because of the high pressure and others quit without a backup plan because it had became that overwhelming. Office politics and who your manager is plays a huge role in promotions and visibility. It made it unfair for hardworking people deserved promotions.

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.
