Pros

Many tools you can learn, but still by your own effort.

Cons

My team got dispersed since it has been one year. People come and go, creating an unstable team. They never listened to concerns but changed managers 3 times. The last manager asked me about my skillset, and I provided the ones we used in our team for a year.

He decided to suspend the team and move away the PO and team members. I got a call on Friday around 4 p.m., and my contractor told me that my term ended with the company due to "misaligned skillset."

I have no idea what is going on, but I am very disappointed because I stuck to the company's word that they were going to make me a full-time member, which was a lie for a year.

Over 8 people were smart enough to realize this was a very toxic environment. Each one of them left in a month or two while we were hiring one after another's departure.

Nonsense.

Too much overtime work, no balance. I don’t need your overtime pay; I need human-centric work. No more working like a dog.

I wouldn't sacrifice that much. I would just do my tickets and move on, leaving the role as it was the correct time.

Advice to Management

I would not have them comment, "Please contact us for further..." You never care about your employees and never listen to their concerns.
