Pros: Smart people, great food, very friendly and helpful to contractors. Played poker with the team, etc.
Cons: You have to work very hard to meet expectations, but it is achievable. For me, I had to put in extra unbillable hours.
Expectations were that if I performed, my contract would last 2 years.
But after 6 months, the project timeline changed, and contractors were let go with no notice.
No effort was made to find another opportunity.
