Pros

- you and the other trainees become close like family - trainers are very helpful and supportive - tough projects that help you develop strong skills in a short time frame - chance to be placed at famous large companies - very helpful interview prep

Cons

- enormous fine if you break the contract - no job security - you can get kicked out even if you have gotten a placement from them before - strict environment - kinda feels like you're back in middle school - if you don't know how to network with account managers, you're screwed (in terms of finding placements) - depending on where you're placed, you may be suffering very long working hours (with no overtime pay) -account managers try to nudge you into roles you don't want or states you don't want to go to

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.
