Pros

Free food and bragging rights that I worked on a self driving car.

Cons

- Treated like a second class citizen. - Contract can change at a moments notice and contractors have no say in anything. - Had normal business work hours and was changed to a 5AM shift. Wednesday through Sunday. - No clear path to be converted. - Poor management because your Waymo manager really isn't your manager. Your Adecco rep is. - Requesting time off is a pure nightmare. - Three sick days a year. THREE. - Google says don't be evil but they will be evil to contractors.
