Pros
  • Great culture.
  • Incredibly smart and humble people to learn from.
  • A lot of opportunities if you have self-initiative.
  • A lot of freedom with projects.
Cons

You really need a lot of self-initiative to learn and get involved in more, especially if you are a CW.

As a CW, you don't get the same benefits (meta days, insurance, claimables, etc.), and you just don't get prioritized as much as others. You just hope you get assigned to a good team.

Job uncertainty depends more on project duration, not contract duration. After your project ends, you have to flounder around and look for new projects yourself.

It just feels bad being a second-class citizen. Convert if you can.

Advice to Management

Better HR – CW management, especially with internal project/team allocation.
