Pros

1) Decent benefits 2) Good place to be in if you are looking for short term opportunities (3-5 years) or want to start a career.

Cons

1) Lost management with some old thinking and unclear end point. Management is deluded about reality and is attempting to make changes without TRULY understanding the present situation. 2) Unbalanced payscale - new hires could end up getting paid more than existing employees at the same level and with more years of experience or qualification. 3) Not much growth opportunity (especially if you are ambitious) 4) Too much time and resoruces are wasted in initiatives/collaborations that don't seem to pay off

Pros

I learned a lot while working this job. The systems like Veeva and Workfront were difficult to learn at first, but once I got the hang of them it was great. There were a lot of great people working around me that wanted to see me succeed.

Cons

Working as a contract worker had it's cons. At times, it felt like I was a little bit of an afterthought in the company with some superiors because I was not a full time employee. Communication suffered at times as well.
