Pros

They pay good hourly rates.

Cons

The full-time employees gang up against contractors. They harass the contractors in a systematic way so that they get fed up and leave. Then they hire Indian interns and make them slog, misusing the fact of visa dependency and the financial vulnerability of the interns. The interns are made to work over 15 hours per day.

The work culture in the Perceptual Computing group has gone to pieces. It's terribly rogue politics.

Advice to Management
  1. Do not hire experienced professionals, as your full-time employees will insult, abuse, and harass them into leaving.

  2. Beware that your abuse of interns is known to the Department of Labor, and this will catch up to you someday, later or sooner.

  3. Learn that your full-time employees are not apostles of truth. They are utter liars who are playing games endlessly to get rid of contractors.

  4. If possible, try to acknowledge the hard work of the contractors. They are factually doing way better than those useless full-timers who are leaching Intel only for their benefits and money.

Perceptual Computing, wake up before losing more contractors to this abuse. This is only a straw that you will be officially complained to the Department of Labor.
