Pros

Amazing machinery available at Pier 9, and a lot of great people cycling through.

Cons

They created a hostile hierarchy where they keep people as contractors, with no benefits, for as long as possible. In my case, they broke their agreement with me multiple times and paid me even less than interns. Others on the same team were official employees with a large amount of perks, which created an awkward and obvious separation based on the color of your badge.

Advice to Management

Treat people more fairly. If you intend to hire someone as a "contractor," set an evaluation date and stick to it.
