Pros

The pay, as a full-time employee, is on par with what I expect for tech leads and senior developers.

Cons

They micromanage you. They want you on camera so they can watch you. They force you to travel into their office in Maryland no matter where you are located. They ping you every 10 to 15 minutes for a progress update. They have no idea how to build decent software.

Advice to Management

Fire the current middle management and hire people that know how to lead.
