Bloomberg LP

Lots of free food, snacks, etc.

Note that all ratings given here are from the perspective of a contractor on the WSS Core Services Team, in R&D (a truly miserable place to contract due to the supervisors that run it).

Contractors on the WSS Core Services Team are treated with no support or regard. You are a cog, nothing more. You receive absolutely no support or development of any kind. Requests for information are constantly met with annoyance and dismissals. You are frequently left out of team meetings and other huddle discussions. You have no external access to systems but are required to perform exactly as a full-time employee with full access (meaning that you have to be in the building ALL the time).

The WSS Core Services Team in the R&D Division is a terrible, terrible place to contract.

Treat contractors as you say you do: FAIRLY.

Give long-term contractors external access to systems, or do NOT expect them to "own" systems the way a full-time employee does.

DEVELOP contractors fairly; do not expect them to walk through the door and understand undocumented, complex systems in a day.

Provide introductions and assist them in succeeding for at least a month or so.

And STOP SAYING that a contractor should not need any assistance or information in order to be productive from day one!
