Google

1. You get the 20% good by taking in the 80% bad.
2. Most people would kindly help you out.
3. Amazing learning resources if you are actively looking to learn something.
4. Micro kitchens and coffee bars are great.

1. You'll meet some full-time coworkers who treat contractors unprofessionally and rudely, yet there's no one within Google you can complain to about it.

2. Restricted access to any work "gatherings," so no party, no dinner, or any offsite activities. This is fine, but if you've accidentally been invited to a Googler event, someone will police this and ask you to leave, rubbing salt into the wound.

3. Slow-to-respond XWF teams; it takes weeks to get the basic stuff like the computer, seat assignment, and badge access.

4. Uncertain employment status for contractors. They won't let you know whether your contract is extended or not until the very last week. At-will employment, so be ready to face sudden termination and get locked out without any notice.

Promote a fair working environment for all employees, FTEs, and TVCs. It's okay to work without any perks or swags, but respect and transparency should be non-negotiables.

Measure the XWF team's performance by their process speed and response time.
