Pros

I've been working as a temp for a few months now and the first thing I noticed is that they treats employees very well . They have many miscellaneous bonuses such as safety payouts , meals , gift certificates ect . They have an on site cafeteria and the food reasonably priced and average quality (not bad not great either ). they also for the most part encourage innovation and realize theirs more then one way to do something .

Cons

The management is a little hit and miss but definitely tolerable however they are very unclear about their temp to hire processes Some managers have said it takes a couple months some say a year or two none have specified how they go about the process,evaluate performance or when they review at all. The hours can be rather long if you get behind( which could be good or bad depending on the person ) .

Pros

Pay was pretty generous Company stock options were good

Cons

Day-to-day operations are highly reactive, with frequent last-minute requests, shifting priorities, and unclear direction, making it difficult to consistently deliver high-quality work. There is often no consistent definition of “done,” which leads to repeated rework and extended revision cycles. Project ownership and decision-making accountability can be unclear, resulting in work stalling or cycling without resolution. Cross-functional alignment is inconsistent, and teams are often required to compensate for gaps in planning or structure. High performers frequently take on additional workload to maintain progress on projects. In my experience, accountability for underperformance was inconsistent, while avoiding conflict often appeared to be prioritized over driving outcomes. The work environment could be highly stressful at times, and I observed instances where colleagues appeared visibly overwhelmed during meetings. HR involvement in management concerns did not always result in visible or sustained changes from the team’s perspective. Overall structure and strategic direction can feel inconsistent, making it difficult to operate efficiently or plan long-term work.
