Pros

Able to gain knowledge of different softwares and companies during each engagement.

Cons

Extremely risky with having to be on a contract or you risk being let go if you are on “bench”. Never sure how long you’ll be on a contract. Severely underpaid for a company that has annual revenue of $7B and charges clients triple what they pay you hourly. PTO accrual is trash. No annual review or pay increase in two years. Had to remind my supervisor that I was due for one after consistently being told I had great reviews from clients. No clear direction on management and who you should report to. Severe lack of support and communication from supervisors at Robert Half. I was ghosted from my supervisor on multiple occasions when trying to send emails or call about urgent matters and had no idea who else I could report to for having those issues resolved. Had a client that was absolutely terrible and expressed several times on my “weekly engagement report” all issues I was having. When I finally got in touch with my supervisor (after 3-4 weeks of sending emails and calling) they were unaware of the issues. Why do employees fill those forms out then? As employees who bring in revenue working on contracts for them, you would think they would treat you way better.

Pros

Not much to say here, unfortunately.

Cons

In the technology practice, the unwillingness to adapt to a rapidly changing market can no longer be ignored. Too many decisions continue to be justified by the mindset of "this is the way we've always done things," even when those approaches are becoming less effective or counter-productive. While competitors evolve their business models, recruiting strategies, and client engagement practices, continues to be reluctant to challenge long-standing processes and assumptions. The impact of this resistance to change is becoming increasingly visible in the market. Clients and candidates have more options than ever before, and perceptions of the organization are being shaped by experiences that no longer align with current expectations. Without a willingness to listen to feedback and embrace new approaches, there is a real risk of causing lasting damage to the company's reputation, employee retention, and long-term competitiveness.
