Pros

Most of the trainers are friendly and helpful, and the training isn't the worst - although not the best either

Cons

The company is in constant decline; management have been deluding everyone into thinking the situation will improve for years Infrequent client opportunities as a result, and of which are often for very entry level roles (e.g. help desk) From the opportunities that are available, the interviews are typically extremely competitive and they rarely provide adequate support for preparation You get fired if they're unable to place you with a client after roughly half a year The account managers treat you like an expendable resource Very poor salary Additionally, my start date was delayed by over 6 months. Initially I was supposed to start employment in Feb 2024, then they called me one week before and delayed it to April, and then again to June, and delayed a third time to September.

Pros

It is a job that pays.

Cons

They will promise you opportunities that don't exist. The company they contract you to will promise you work that you will not be assigned. I was a Java Consultant with a masters degree in Math and certificate in full stack and I was shoved into a manual testing position that required zero coding and constantly dangled automation in front of my face. When I was asked to look at Selenium, I studied it in some of the copious amounts of downtime i had and was reprimanded during the next meeting for 'wasting company time'. I moved from Texas to New Jersey for my first position. After contracts with the company were terminated, I was pulled off my assignment only to be abruptly fired for "lack of geoflexibility" despite willingness to move to several places they do business including NYC and even Denver. There is no accountability from them as the only response they give is "the decision is final". There is no way to appeal a blatant lie. Their company has no integrity and side with business majors over people that know how chemicals and physics and electrical components work just seem like bad life decisions. They will say you can reapply but they won't hire you. They'd full of it at every angle.
