Svantaggi
Employees have minimal experience outside their present job and some are appallingly immature. Some have too much power for their skill level. That said, there are those few who do outstanding work. You'll know who they are - they're the ones who aren't whispering in the hallways, rolling their eyes behind others' backs or otherwise backstabbing or stiffling another's work. They're mature, respectful, hardworking, encouraging and honest. They're also the minority, and they seem to keep their heads in the sand, not unaware of the behaviors around them. Food is gross, always buffet spreads outside conference rooms, so if your tiny cube is outside conference room, you suffer noise and smell. No discounts for contractors. No free food, coffee or soda for conteactors either, unless employees are done, then they may throw scraps on your desk hours later. It's rather unthinking and rude.
