I had to pay a business trip with my own salary, they didn’t allow me to expense it. Brooksource hired me for contract role at American Airlines, and gave me a windows laptop that was incompatible with my work and they didn’t do anything about it. Computer worked okay the first 8 weeks and after that there were lots of VPN and network issues. Computer wasn’t able to connect to American Airlines apps, so I had to use my personal computer. Lots of technical issues. The recruiter and staff at Brooksource couldn’t care less about it. They were always completely out of touch. I asked for a Mac but they didn’t allow it. Using my personal computer for work was super uncomfortable as there was no privacy and they had full access to my data. I got fired weeks after. #brooksource #sde #engineering #software #job #pay #salary #benefits
Sorry to hear about your situation. Brooksource sucks. Contracting at brooksource sucks even more.
In hindsight, were there any clues about their bad business practices so that you would know what to avoid in the future?
they just didn't care about their contractors. will try to squish as much money out of them and then drop them.
Could you tell that they didn’t care while you were interviewing with them?
