Vantaggi

Brilliant training and experience. Clients are usually well known companies and most will hire you on once your initial contract is over. The training provided is very beneficial, especially if you've never worked in that field before.

Svantaggi

Starting salary is below average for a graduate job, Plus, once out working with the clients you feel very out of the loop of what is going on. If you are unfortunate enough to not get placed quickly, but your training is finished, there isn't anything helpful that you can do and you just end up being bored waiting for a placement. When one does come, a lot of the time it will be in an area that you're not interested or wouldn't be well suited for.

Thank you for taking the time to post a review. It’s good to hear that you found the training beneficial. We welcome all feedback and are always looking for ways to improve. In between placements or before a placement, we encourage consultants to take advantage of the further training and coaching that is available – including classroom based training and Pluralsight.

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.
