Svantaggi
This company is run by a woman who grew up as a technical recruiter. She is good at placing resources into low-level opportunities with the State of Indiana due to her relationships there. However, these roles are staff augmentation, not project roles. As long as you can be billable at a good rate, you'll be fine -- you'll be ignored. The moment your contract ends, you'll be asked to take a pay cut. If you refuse, you'll be fired. You may be fired anyway. The company has established this pattern. There's absolutely no strategy at work there. No proper consulting is coming out of this tiny shop. The work they get is awarded by virtue of their low-rates as a woman-owned business. The culture is gossipy and toxic. The office environment is sterile and stressful. HR is run as an extension of the President. Her wishes are HR's command with little regard for the law. There's way too much religion in this small business and the President doesn't think twice about referencing Bible quotes in meetings or one-on-ones. The President will disparage you to future employers who call for references.
