Pros

In my experience, my team had an excellent atmosphere. We used modern and cutting-edge technologies and solutions, which enabled me to gain diverse knowledge in different domains. The work environment is great, and everyone is very professional and friendly. The work culture is amazing, thanks to the people.

Cons

Long working hours (team dependent), limited upward mobility (in my experience), and non-flexible company policies regarding hybrid/remote attendance.

Long conversion (contract to full-time employee) period if you are a contractor.

Unfair wages for contract positions, who receive much lower salaries compared to full-time employees (in my experience).

Advice to Management

More flexible employee attendance policies (remote, hybrid, in-person).

It depends on the employee, but some (like myself) work much better, are more efficient, and more productive when working remotely. A one or two days of in-person work days would work much better than the current setup.

It's a win-win for both the employee and the company (happier employees, less overhead for the company, not to mention more efficient and productive employees).
