Pros
None, I was contingently "hired"
Kontras
Severe mismatch between what is sold during recruiting and the reality of project placement. Promised “exciting client work” frequently falls through after months of waiting. Employees are then pressured to interview repeatedly for replacement projects that are significantly lower quality and scope.
Even after accepting roles that already feel below market value, candidates can still be rejected from these fallback projects and returned to limbo. The process slowly wears people down and signals a lack of respect for their time and experience.
If the firm truly requires highly specialized, senior-level experience, they should not hire broadly and hope projects appear later. Poor planning, poor transparency, and a frustrating recruiting/"hiring" experience overall.
