Vantaggi
MThree (previously Wiley Edge) gives perfect opportunity for people who want to break into tech industry who lack experience.
I have seen some negative comments about them but realistically speaking if someone couldn't get a job offer without help of a consulting firm like mThree, chances are mThree actually got them a job that they would have never gotten otherwise; therefore, I am really thankful to them that they helped me ease into this industry.
You sign an 18 months contract with them and you work at client site like normal job, the difference is your salary is coming from mThree consulting instead of the client. If everything is good and the client is happy with your work then the employment is automatically converted into FTE from contract.
You get pay bump every six months, and there are added benefits like gym, perkbox, health plan, cycle2work (paid by mThree) etc.
Currently the UK manager is George, who was very helpful and replied to all my queries as they arised.
In a nutshell, I'd recommend anyone who wants to break into tech to apply through mThree and not listen to all the negatives.
Svantaggi
When you are working as a contractor on client site, there are certain client benefits you are not eligible for which are exclusive for FTEs.
