Pros

Most people are nice except for my boss

Cons

My boss is the worst. She is super micromanaging, talks you down all the time, doesn't give constructive feedback and doesn't promote work life balance. She doesn't care about the good work that you did and only focuses on your negative sides or only looks at how late you stay at work (she herself doesn't ever leave her desk, even during lunch, so you feel bad for taking lunch break). My worst decision ever to join this firm.

Pros

decent pay and good name drop to add to your experience and resume

Cons

everything!! since this was a contract role I was brought in to complete a project with 0 leadership or direction. I was left to figure out everything completely on my own from finding a computer and a desk and a phone to figuring out who to contact in India etc to help me revamp the entire global website on the backend. I literally had to show up to work everyday at least an hour early so that I could possibly try to find a open desk sometimes I had to work on the floor or find somewhere in the lunchroom I could set up in the corner this went on for over a month.
