Pros

The development work itself was fun, and I had some great coworkers.

Cons

Management is an absolute joke, at least for the team I was on.

The project I was working on was already 8 months behind schedule by the time I got hired.

I was given inconsistent tasks, priorities shifted daily, and I was reminded regularly that I was only a contractor. I was expected to drive to an empty office three times a week where the rest of my team was not.

I would get praised by my lead, only to get berated by the director for the same thing. I would ask for help, only to get lectured for asking.

Finally, my contract was terminated with no explanation. The team I was on went through a lot of contractors. It was a very unpleasant experience that I do not recommend to anyone.

Advice to Management

Find someone who knows how to manage people and understand how to run a project. Stop micromanaging your contractors to the point they can't succeed.
