Pros

It is possible to work remotely.

Cons

I would describe this company as a space with its own internal resources for searching for a project and/or position to work for the Customer/Client. So when you join a company, it's not something you might think about. You will be plunged into an endless cycle of interviews, job searches, etc. What's funny is that if you were hired as a senior developer, for example in the Java field, then you will still be interviewed again and again, just to evaluate you, are you a senior developer (even if your last rating was a month ago) Creating a career above a key developer or team leader is difficult or almost impossible, personal relationships are necessary. However, even becoming a highly skilled specialist ina field is difficult because the duration of projects is very short and you will have to move on to other projects very often, even if it does not correspond to your career growth. Because it is more important for the company not to keep an employee unassigned to the client projects for more than 3 months. So if you don't get assigned to a client project, you'll just get fired, and if you don't want to get fired, you'll have to do something just to get assigned to a project, but if you can of course. To get an interview with a client, you will need to go through an internal interviews loop, which in most cases looks like a lottery since it is conducted by non-professionals and in some cases not even experts in the field.

Worst Company I ever worked for

Pros

Can't think of any !

Cons

No growth either in terms of career or salary! Absolutely nothing. They will pay you in peanuts while billing the customer decently. Every year at review time they will ask for customer feedback. No matter how positive the feedback is it will make no difference to your growth. Ask for a pay rise and you will have the best roller coaster ride of your life. The best part is, they kept deferring Work Place Pension as long as they could (and was advertised with such emails as they were the pioneers !!) and will pay in equivalent to a few pints of beer ! You will be lying in a corner working at a client location forgotten, You will receive emails about their "drinker's club", poker etc.. social night out and how much fun they have. They try to keep you diverted with all this stuff.
