Vantaggi

Blue chip clients. The people. International opportunities. Helpful staff. Ex forces and women in IT initiatives are commendable. Mentoring programme is good. Solid support network.

Svantaggi

Poor pay. You are the product. Getting placed can largely be down to luck. Training is interesting however in later weeks becomes mundane and revolves around mesmerising and cramming information. Minimal knowledge retention. No pension & no holiday pay No choice where you go - however you know this in advance. No guarantee of a placement. However if you're proactive and not brain dead you will get one eventually. Women in IT initiative is good, however there needs to be a clear meritocratic nature to selection and placement rather than a female favouritism.

Vantaggi

It is a job that pays.

Svantaggi

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.
