Contract pay, but they work you to the bone. They definitely get their money's worth

Pros

Pays well as a contractor, which they do purposefully to keep from having to do major layoffs. But since the pandemic, layoffs and furloughs are commonplace. Best team I've worked on, everyone is highly proficient except some of the junior developers from a certain contracting agency I won't name. Otherwise, very good team dynamics. Was allowed to WFH once in a while, but it was still frowned upon.

Cons

They work you to the bone since they pay you very well. I guess that's a bit of my fault too, since the amount of work you show you can produce in the beginning is the amount of work they will expect throughout your contract.

The stakes are high since there are billions of dollars moving through the app we were working on, so lots of money can go missing with some slight defects. Testing was minimal, if non-existent, due to "time constraints."
