Pros – Flexibility with jobs - As work comes along they will contact you regarding opportunities; the longer you work for them, the better the jobs are (duration)

Cons – Recruiters are not attorneys and typically are rude and indifferent to you unless they need you - abuse positions of power by blacklisting people

I worked at Hudson Global

Pros – The training program when I worked there was excellent. Good communications from Corporate. The branch I was in had a good work environment in a great location. The company provided great perks, such as snacks and refreshments in the breakroom. If you surpassed your goals, you could win a a paid vacation in an exotic place yearly. The yearly kickoff meetings were great and you really felt pride and teamship. There were more paid holidays with that company than any other company. I got to run my desk my way and did not have to meet weekly or monthly quotas.

Cons – I really had no real downside complaints of working for the company.

Advice to Senior Management – More recognition and feedback to employees.

I worked at Hudson Global

Pros – Hudson Highland Group provides a relatively nice work environment for electronic document review projects. The staff of the Hudson legal team is easy to work with, and the compensation is competitive. Most projects offer some overtime. In addition, the company is large enough that it usually has many projects running at the same time, so there are many opportunites keep working.
Overall, Hudson Highland Group is a good place to work if you are looking for a temporary consulting job performing electronic document review.

Cons – Hudson Highland Group doesn't always give much notice at the end of a project. However, sometimes this is beyond the company's control.

Advice to Senior Management – Consultant's should be given consistent opportunities to work weekend hours. Consultant's are fully capable of working unsupervised during weekend hours.

I worked at Hudson Global

Pros – A nationally recognized staffing agency so there are ample opportunities for consistent work in many cities across the US. Hudson tends to get the most projects in the Washington, DC area and there is a lot of competition in that market. The pay rates seem to be pretty competitive with the rest of the contractor staffing agencies.

Cons – The work site for contractors is awful, too many people crowded into one room, dirty kitchen, not enough supplies. No personal internet access. Many complaints regarding leadership and truthfulness when it comes to staffing projects.

Advice to Senior Management – Improve the facilities where contractors work.
