Pros

Flexible schedule, remote. Very little micro management. Focus on your work and deal directly with the client.

Cons

Vaco prides itself on diversity and friendly and untiring culture. The culture may be that internally with contractors. I can assure you that the culture is tone deaf and there’s little to no room on the client side for “culture” if they hate you, they hate you and that’s basically it… you’re doomed. Vaco will do nothing to keep you as an employee. I understand that this is how it is in the contracting world, but the account managers should know when they have a problem client, in this case, it was Roku, they should try to do what they can to keep that contractor employed. Merely 2 months into the contract I was severely injured in a freak accident and rushing to get back to work remotely, Vaco terminated the contract. No warnings, no nothing. They do not care about their employees. They are just human capital.

Pros

They reached out to me. Followed up with me and kept me informed throughout the entire process.

Cons

None. The assignment is region specific but that has nothing to do with Vaco

Pros

Vaco placed me in an IT Governance/Architecture contract role at $xxx/hour and was hands-on throughout the entire process. They guided me through every stage of the interview, provided great prep, and kept communication tight. If you’re a senior tech professional looking for high-value contract placements, I’d highly recommend working with them. They’re responsive, professional, and clearly invested in your success — not just filling a seat.

Cons

None I can Think of
