Svantaggi
They will lie constantly during the interview process, claiming that while the opportunity is for freelancers (due to bureaucratic constraints) this is a 40h/week position. They'll claim there's room for growth and improvement, and a transfer to an employee position later down the line. In truth, it doesn't matter how often you get promoted - your salary will remain the same for at least 3 years. They consistently block internal transfers to their employee team, always hiring from outside the company instead. They'll hire 200+ people per new project, making they leave their old positions so they can actually work 40h, and then turn around and bench all of them within a month. What's bench? A deceptive way to avoid paying severance. They'll just have you without any projects (and, therefore, make 0 money, since you're paid hourly) for months at a time, and then call you back when it's convenient, only to go around and doing it again, and again, and again. Until you quit. Turing is a good place for a 2-3h/day gig - but never accept a 40h position from them, they will absolutely not honor it in any way, and you'll be looking for another job within a maximum of 3 months. Everything is always extremely unstable, and it's done on purpose. They're fully aware that every project will not last longer than 6 months, but that's how the company works: They need to deliver fast, so they'll tell you whatever you want to hear during the interview process so they can have that workforce. Once the project ends? They claim no responsibility. So what if you won't be able to work for months until a new project comes along? It's certainly not *their* problem how you pay your bills. By all means, work for them part time, or as a way to supplement your income - they're very good for that. But never take a fulltime position from them in the "Individual Contractor" modality unless you're very desperate. I don't think they're breaking any laws here - but having been on this cycle a few times now? They're ethically and morally bankrupt.
