Pros

Big company - have lots of roles to work on

Cons

1. management mindset is old and way too traditional. not competitive in the market. claims to welcome feedback, but when feedback is given, their responses will be "we don't do this" or "we have never practiced this" 2. rude managers - implied that employees are animals to their face when things were not done their way, despite it being successful. openly badmouthing employees for preferring to WFH WHEN THE PANDEMIC WAS GOING RAMPANT. 3. extremely low rates for terms. the teams doesn't seem to value high quality work. focuses on volume. managers will not recognise a good negotiation, and would instead question you for wasting time to even negotiate. 4. extremely arrogant manager. constantly boasting about how much deals he make, and really proud that he works 7 days a week, and seem to expect his employees to do the same 5. clients are not respected. jobs given are not worked on, despite them agreeing to work on them.

Pros

Loved my team. My Manager was incredibly supportive, understand, and always rooting for myself as well as my teammate's success. Remote work was highly flexible and accommodating.

Cons

Pay was a little low and you don't get paid for holidays in your probationary period but there's growth opportunities after 6 months of employment.

Pros

Recruiter was responsive at first, and the team I spoke with at the client company seemed professional and genuinely kind.

Cons

Here’s a more detailed “Cons” you can use and tweak: Cons: I went all the way through onboarding for a contract role, spent a full day last week chasing down and uploading sensitive documents (including my passport), and was told I’d be starting this week. Then, at the last minute, I got a single text saying I “didn’t pass” a third‑party ID check — with no explanation of what supposedly failed and no formal notice or report to review. As an American citizen using a valid passport, it’s really disturbing to have a job pulled over an opaque automated screening and to be told “other factors” were flagged without anyone willing or able to say what they were. Even after repeatedly asking, I was given no more than a generic privacy policy and bounced between contacts, which feels extremely careless with my time, my livelihood, and the very private identity data they collected. Best‑practice guidance for background checks says candidates should get clear written notice and a chance to understand or dispute issues before a job is taken away; that absolutely did not happen here.
