Being here as a contractor is similar to being furniture in their office

Pros
  • Very good line in your resume.
  • Pretty nice office.
Cons

I've been working here for a year as a contractor. The first thing that you are going to face is: management is going to treat you like a second-grade person. They're going to discriminate against you everywhere – a worse desk, no benefits, no vacations. Basically, you're like a thing in their office, not a person.

Your manager can be changed every 3-4 months. There's no career growth at all. Even if you are going to work better than many full-time employees, you will not get a chance to convert into full-time.

All full-time roles are distributed between current employees, so they bring their buddies into the company even though they do not fit the position requirements. Most of the engineers' managers are foreigners, so they hire people from their fellow countries.

I do not recommend spending your time there as a contractor.

Advice to Management

Contractors are also people, not things. Treat them as persons, not furniture.

Pay more attention to how people get hired. There are problems there; not the best get the offer, but who knows the hiring manager.
