Pros

Company culture is excellent, people are friendly and helpful across the organization, there is also a lot of flexibility in your schedule.

Cons

Pay is extremely low compared to industry average, there is pretty much no opportunity to negotiate a raise, there is no visibility into the promotion/advancement process (even for line managers).

Pros

Provided health insurance. Good coworkers Good exposure to team at client site If you have a good technical lead, the job can be great!

Cons

You have 2 bosses (Technical lead from Client Site) and your PPD boss. PPD Boss does not know what is going on If you have a bad technical lead, your life can be miserable. Pay is low No protection from abusive technical lead (coworkers on same team can have a drastically different experience)
