Pros

- Salary negotiation - FSPP stocks invite - Unlimited PTO - Fairly Quick and easy Onboarding Process - Simple timesheet submissions - Lots of management resources available

Cons

- If you're dedicated to one sponsor you aren't too fond of, you're stuck with them - FSP 360 isn't truly an option for you to switch sponsors or projects if needed/wanted to - Double emails to check (CRO and Sponsor) - Double timesheets to submit (CRO and Sponsor) - Expense reports should be completed before your manager decides to take PTO - Unlimited PTO isn't truly accurate as you'll be swamped with work - Bonuses and yearly merit increases are not real so ask for a high salary during your interview

Pros

There were no pros that I know of.

Cons

The company would set the maximum hours allowed on a specific publication project, and that cap was always insufficient, so the freelancer would be expected to work for free, despite scope creep. Also, timelines were unreasonably short. Poor communication with management meant things took longer than they should have. I left after one project.
