One of the best companies I have ever worked with, but maybe a small catch

Pros

Great work environment and culture. Beautiful campus. Very talented workforce and great opportunities to work with some of the best in the industry.

Cons

They tend to contract maybe about 75% of their workforce (or more), which means that you can be laid off at any time and you may be looking for new work every year or so.

Advice to Management

Stop hiring so many contractors. The contracting company gets half their pay for doing nothing but finding the person and handling their benefits.
