Pros
1. Full-Time Job with benefits and 401k. 2. Great place to start your IT Career and getting you foot in the door. 3. Freely included IT Training and Certification Class Materials via Udemy and Coursera.
Cons
1. Poor communication between contracting company, ByteDance. Aura of secrecy and mistrust due to ByteDance being a Chinese company and Astreya being an American company 2. No long term plan to move into a Full-Time position after contract ends. 3. No training or guidance on what to do from management. 4. Employees are treated like third-class citizens. Examples: Wellness Days were taken away from new employees, you have to work there for more than 2 years to get sick leave. Thankfully we were grandfathered by this new policy, still stinks for new employees though. Also no Christmas or Summer Bonus, only Amazon/eCommerce gift cards. 5. Remote Work only on Weekends and Holidays 6. Bare Minimum Pay Rate and Benefits
