Pros

relaxed environment, mentorship, and interesting clients.

Cons

They don't value contractor's time. For whatever reason, they feel the need to hire several contractors at once to do the same job, with not enough workload for all of them. Then lay off who they feel isn't as useful after about a week or two. They dangle the prospect of hiring full-time but have no intentions to do so. I've contracted many places at they have all given contractors lead time to look for additional work (as in keeping them on staff for the entirety of their contract). The company isn't that desirable that you need to dangle full time in front of contractors, just be transparent. This was done to several people during my time there.

Pros

Culture is fantastic, very welcoming, and makes new contractors feel at home very quickly. The project leads are great at clearly communicating workload expectations, deadlines, and any fires or complications that pop up. Contractors are an integral part of the team and are treated like humans, not assets.

Cons

Ambitious events/campaigns are extreme time commitments and while overtime is expected and compensated fairly, it can still become overwhelming.

Pros

I was approached by Sarah on LinkedIn about an opportunity to join the Modicum team. Every single email and phone conversation was friendly and welcoming. I 1st had a phone interview and then an in person interview that lasted about 2 hours. I met with the President + 3 others in Senior Management. I was offered the position about a week later, and was thrilled to have been given the offer! Since Day 1 at Modicum, the team has been warm, friendly, and welcoming; senior management has been highly engaged and offered incredible on-boarding + support; the office culture is laid back, nerdy, and fun -- we've had happy hours on Fridays, summer Fridays, donuts on Fridays (all things that I love!) The work/life balance is incredible, and I love coming into work every day!

Cons

I honestly can't think of any cons!
