Pros

IBM is a great company with lots of opportunities and good people to work with. Contractors here work alongside directly employed engineers on the same project, which doesn't happen in most companies that give contractors dedicated work, usually not very important or interesting.

Cons

Being a contractor in IBM also has disadvantages, most of which are in the way IBM treats contractors (IBM as an organization, not direct managers).

As an organization, it has a policy that sometimes makes contractors feel like 'second-class citizens'.

Advice to Management

Change 'second-class citizen' policy. Contractors are part of the projects and part of the IBM ecosystem. So treat them accordingly.
