Pros

There are none to be given.

Cons

This company dies not support their employees. They put you with a client and from there on out you cannot get a straight answer. You are directed toward either the client or Randstad who then directs you back to the other party. No snacks in the room, no eating in class, but when a medical emergency arises" Didn't you have snacks?" You have a medical situation come up and suddenly everyone wants to be in charge, but after the crisis is over neither one of the parties wants to get involved. Two many people in charge, with no management skills. Unable to comprehend HR policies and procedures to the point of putting that person's life on the line not once but twice in less than a one week time period. Avoid this company.

Pros

Loved my team. My Manager was incredibly supportive, understand, and always rooting for myself as well as my teammate's success. Remote work was highly flexible and accommodating.

Cons

Pay was a little low and you don't get paid for holidays in your probationary period but there's growth opportunities after 6 months of employment.

Pros

Recruiter was responsive at first, and the team I spoke with at the client company seemed professional and genuinely kind.

Cons

Here’s a more detailed “Cons” you can use and tweak: Cons: I went all the way through onboarding for a contract role, spent a full day last week chasing down and uploading sensitive documents (including my passport), and was told I’d be starting this week. Then, at the last minute, I got a single text saying I “didn’t pass” a third‑party ID check — with no explanation of what supposedly failed and no formal notice or report to review. As an American citizen using a valid passport, it’s really disturbing to have a job pulled over an opaque automated screening and to be told “other factors” were flagged without anyone willing or able to say what they were. Even after repeatedly asking, I was given no more than a generic privacy policy and bounced between contacts, which feels extremely careless with my time, my livelihood, and the very private identity data they collected. Best‑practice guidance for background checks says candidates should get clear written notice and a chance to understand or dispute issues before a job is taken away; that absolutely did not happen here.
