Pros

Location Flexibility and a hybrid working model (only 2 times per week at the office) paid on time

Cons

Toxic environment, low pay, promotions only to the "liked" aka bootylickers Very high pressure, youre constanlty in meaningless meetings where you hear the same things over again about how useless you are The offices are not of use, open space with lots of noise and very few meeting rooms. Or even chairs and desks. No kitchen room to eat your food like a normal human, you will eat your lunch over your laptop! Bullying people they don't like No fancy events or any thank you gifts (in xmas season for example, with soo many clients you could get a bottle of wine to your employees) No work life balance, you can be on vacation and your manager will contact you! Very very competitive

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.
