Pros

Relaxed environment, allows remote work, and they are using advanced technology for software development.

Cons

This is the only company I've worked for where they don't give you free coffee. You don't have any perks by being in the office other than having your own cubicle. Even the paper towels in the bathroom are very small. That's how you know the company is cheap. Also, when they replace your computer, you have to do all the backup and configuration by yourself because they identify you as a "power user."

Advice to Management

Get interested in your resources, even if they are contractors. It's ridiculous that you still behave like you were in high school by making differences between contractors and full-time employees.

For example, kicking people out of a meeting after a while, saying that the next part is only for FTEs and contractors have to leave. Or making jokes on how great being an FTE is.
