Pros

* FLDP is a great program to start your career. The trainings in the program are helpful to learn about the company and the network you gain will help your career * In certain areas of the company, the culture is flexible and you get to work with really intelligent people

Cons

* The pay is low for the amount of hours you work compared to other industries * Most of the company is not flexible in terms of location and they are losing a lot of great talent because of that * The "benefits" are the reason why they justify low pay. The pension and tuition reimbursement have both been cut down significantly over the past few years * The financial systems are a nightmare. The amount of time wasted due to poor systems is obscene for a Fortune 500 company * Management is toxic in parts of the company and work life balance is non-existent if you expect to move up

Pros

The colleagues I worked with were great, friendly, helpful. Because the colleagues were great, I'd love to work there full-time, but this was a short contract.

Cons

The supervisor I was ultimately working for had never worked in digital-related products, in which I had decades of experience. He seemed to be unaware of what every colleague would be telling me (I was interviewing colleagues using a software the manager was intending to propose use for firm-wide). Both the colleagues I interviewed, and the internal technical staff I was speaking with knew the project would not function as he seemed intent on ... forcing(?) it do so. I gave him the resulting report of its users' feedback, and I was finished with my contract. He had gone through 2 other women in this same role, already. And he hired a male after me who delivered esentially the same results. Because I wasn't there, I have no idea of the dream outcome this manager attained, or switched to, later.
