Work is steady. You definitely won't be sitting around waiting for work.

Depending on the team, you can end up in interesting projects. Some people you work with are pretty pleasant.

There are a lot of political unpleasantries that can happen with people passing blame and hiding problems.

Some desperate managers try to impress higher-ups by squeezing project deadlines and pressuring people.

The company relies heavily on hiring contractors to save on costs. Some people do manage to get converted to full-time employees, but there are only so many slots, so most contractors will not get converted.

Contractors get cubicles that are half the size of employee cubicles, so that is pretty degrading and discouraging. The morale among contractors is not too great due to such factors.

Have some kind of mechanism for honestly reporting problems and fixing them before they get worse.

Consider using contractors less. The hidden and visible cost of constantly having your team change and having a bunch of contractors worried about their next gig is real. As people's contracts near the end, many people spend much of their time during work looking for their next gig.
