Pros

There’s only one pro about this place and that’s REMOTE

Cons

Everything run far away from this place! You get led on, they lie to you! They did layoffs in august and the remainder of us that stayed was told we had nothing to worry about for the remainder of the year and things would pick back up during Q1. Well that was a LIE! We blindly went into a meeting and were let go! With a week of extra pay! Then they “help” you by placing you on the bench to find another assignment for 30 days, then you’re told they don’t have any openings until January 2023 it’s a set up, no one ever knows the answer to simple questions. They had goals that were unattainable due to have 300+ recruiters recruiting for the same position. 0/5 starts Do not recommend!!!b

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.
