The firm doesn't treat contractors with integrity.

I’m fulltime, but the double standard really makes me lose respect for the firm.

It bills them for forty hours, but they always work more. It bars them from using the game rooms and going to company events, even though most of them have been with the company for years, and the vast majority work tirelessly.

50% or more of effort goes to institutional bureaucracy/redtape.

Devs aren't given access to ANYTHING, barely have permission to work on the command line of their own computers.

Management/business is very out of touch with the difficulties and timelines of dev work.

Extended the Firm’s commitment to fairness and integrity to contractors.

Let them use the game rooms and pay them for the actual hours they work, which is typically well over 40.
