Pros: Great benefits. Nice teammates; good WLB.

Cons: Too slow, taking too long for decisions.

Pros: Incredible people, I'm so fortunate to work here.

Cons: There really aren't any; it's a lovely job!

Pros: It's the best place I've worked. Absolutely no doubt about that. High pay as a temp software engineer. Awesome software development tools. Fewer difficult prima donnas than you might expect for such an elite company. In fact, my department had none.

Cons: I got hired as a temp with the understanding that if all goes well, they would convert me. However, as many others have mentioned, it's quite an uphill challenge. I don't think it's because of my performance, as they seem to like my contributions. It's almost as though because you are a temp, you are automatically branded as not as worthy as an FTE. Having said that, I know one person who got converted, but they went through the same onerous interview process, which they spent an entire 6 months preparing for, and had to join a completely different team. Don't join as a TVC thinking you'll have a better shot at getting in the door. It's actually the opposite. But if you try anyways, do it with low expectations of any conversion. Temps are limited to 1 year max and then have to leave the company for 3 months before you can temp again. Note: Some software engineers come in as a vendor and don't have the 1-year restriction. As a TVC, you'll find roughly half the internal web pages are blocked since you are not an FTE, even ones you need to do your job, making it a frustrating experience to get things done. I often had to bug coworkers to have them look something up for me, or just deal without the information I was seeking. Even the internal job postings are blocked. TVC = temp/vendor/contractor FTE = full-time employee
