The fact that they don't care if you work less hours as long as you get the job done. They will never control your time. Also, contractor is in their plans for having a growing career path. The company cares about each one of us.
I feel safe. I don't feel like my position is hanging and at any moment I can get an unpleasant surprise. It is predictable what I have expecting me the next day, and I can make plans on my personal life counting on my current job.
Working hours flexibility, people are nice, inteligent, helpful and the fact that you work with people from all over the world is fantastic. We get to practice a second language, the job is not boring, and on top of everything, you get paid to do that :)
Maybe it is too soon to have an opinion, however, my leader is always in touch to check how things are going and always reachable whenever I need. Also, he is technically very competent, which makes the job easier. If I have a doubt, he is always there to help me with it.
I think the benefits question doesn't apply. We don't have any. About the compensation, I believe that maybe as a starting point as a test period is ok. However, after a few months, this pay amount doesn't hold on talents. Maybe $25~$30/h would make me feel better. I really like this position.
