Pros

Brand name recognition, exposure to large-scale systems, potential networking opportunities.

Cons

The work environment is highly toxic, with constant micromanagement from both managers and team members. Contractors are treated as disposable—once the assigned work is completed, they are often let go without notice. In my team alone, more than seven contractors were terminated in a short period. There is an extreme level of internal politics, making collaboration and communication very difficult. Management tracks even small things like tea and lunch breaks, which creates a stressful and untrusting atmosphere. Overtime is expected regularly, and 12-hour workdays are considered normal, with managers frequently pushing employees to stay late. Overall, there is very little work-life balance and almost no job security, especially for contract workers.
