Pros

A relatively safe place to work with average pay and a few perks — suitable for those who aren’t concerned about earning more elsewhere. Low stress and minimal pressure, at least in my experience.

Cons

Staff and managers are largely demotivated, offering little in return even if you go above and beyond. Initiative is discouraged, as it often means creating extra work for others. Technical skills across the team are alarmingly low. The company maintains roughly a 50/50 ratio of contractors to internal employees — yet contractors often work less, earn more, and turn down internal positions because the pay cut isn’t worth it. Internal staff lack motivation, and turnover is consistently high.
