I appreciate your perspective. I'm cautiously hopeful that the culture is good, but it's a big enough company (major auto manufacturer) that it likely depends on what part of the company you're in. I'm angling for a perm hire after a year in this department because I'd like to foster a longer term relationship both ways.

I don't know the structure well enough. My own manager seems.... fine. He listened a couple of times when I was trying to solve some problems and my tech lead wasn't. But he's not the person to make waves and get shit done. He's very much go along to get along, but he's easy to work with. As a contractor, I don't think I can go around him, politically, but maybe once I have some real time in and a permanent position.

Thanks again!
