Vantaggi

Knowledgeable trainers at the academy who are always willing to help in any way they can. Good job opportunities will be found for you in IT by the great Account Managers. Projects can be challenging but are a good benchmark of your knowledge and are graded in a way that if you understand the most important concepts you won't have a problem passing. Great first employer if you are right out of school. Paid training.

Svantaggi

Some of the training material and exercises need to be rewritten and/or updated. Pace of training can vary from very slow to rapid. While the opportunity given to you to get your foot in the door at a major company is great, the pay is less than the industry average. Your salary will be about 45-50k your first year. This is not a problem for me as without the training provided I would have never been able to get a job in the IT field. Dress code is old-fashioned compared to many start-ups and tech jobs, but is getting better. Commute to the Austin WeWork location is terrible since it's downtown.

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.
