Pros

Nice team, hybrid working from home mondays and fridays, free snacks, WiFi, no micromanaging, gym, nice location, great managers

Cons

Low pay, terrible health insurance ($934 for both me and my husband), health insurance only covers after $6000, new hire don’t have PTO anymore, and old hires has only 5 days PTO a year.

Pros

Jeff Kim was persistent and genuine. Kept me in mind across multiple searches until the right role landed. No pressure, no ghosting, just consistent follow-through.

Cons

Staffing agencies inherently have limited control over placement timelines. Sometimes the wait between contacts is longer than you'd like.

Pros

Vaco placed me in an IT Governance/Architecture contract role at $xxx/hour and was hands-on throughout the entire process. They guided me through every stage of the interview, provided great prep, and kept communication tight. If you’re a senior tech professional looking for high-value contract placements, I’d highly recommend working with them. They’re responsive, professional, and clearly invested in your success — not just filling a seat.

Cons

None I can Think of
