Pros

Good resource for technical contract work. Wide network that offers varied roles as well as ample opportunities for remote work. Benefits are all solid. Wages were always representative of market rates and they always pushed for raises when available

Cons

Communication with some account managers was not as consistent as others. When roles dry up, some managers can go radio silent rather than reaching out to give updates and require a fair amount of outreach from contract workers to keep them in mind

Pros

Remarkable opportunity for anyone comfortable with a certain institutional incuriosity about where user data ultimately settles. The business model operates like a magician’s act — information enters, attention is directed elsewhere, and outcomes remain elegantly unverified. HR will confirm everything is fully compliant. Compliant with what remains a fascinating open question. Management projects remarkable confidence for an organization whose privacy documentation is difficult to independently corroborate. The office plants are real and visibly thriving, which is genuinely the most transparent thing on the premises. If ambiguity reads to you as opportunity rather than warning, you will advance quickly here. Those with functioning risk instincts may find the cognitive load unsustainable

Cons

• You are now an instrument of surveillance capitalism — Foucault’s panopticon, but with worse dental • Free will feels theoretical when your job is architecturally designed around harvesting consent nobody actually gave • Ligotti warned us consciousness was a mistake; this job is the proof of concept • You will rationalize everything until you can’t — then you’ll rationalize that too • Complicity is slow. You won’t notice until your LinkedIn says “3 years”
