Pros

Some good colleagues to work with and support outside your office is good. Work Life balance and PTO is good.

Cons

If you are a strong salesperson that could threaten the male lion's insecurities, your days are numbered. You must always be on-guard and prepared to defend the smallest of mistakes and be subject to name calling and insults. Verbal abuse is ignored and the MD will never have your back with internal issues. The comp plan is terrible compared to other companies. There are good recruiters but the office barely has the ability to cover low hanging, high priority fruit. The low unemployment rate is a crutch and an excuse for the office when other companies are filling the jobs. The losses therefore are significant and the potential to earn is low.

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.
