- The medical benefits package is changing towards a HSA (healthcare savings account) model.
- There is no overhead hence no job security. When your contract ends or lacks funding, it is up to you to find your next gig. You are hired for a contract...you are not hired into the company.
- Contracts tend to be a collection of "warm bodies". The "warm bodies" approach coupled with the lack of tough technical screenings allows for a collection of mediocre developers. Consultants need not apply!
- Education reimbursement and training is based upon the funds available for your project.
- General leave is one broad category (vacation, sick days, family 'urgencies', etc).
- The organizational chart is very bland and lacks diversity.
