Pros

- You get to work for some very prestigious companies, and there are opportunities abroad. - They do not discriminate on basis of former grades, programming experience or anything else. Instead, it is a very open and encouraging company, for the most part. - Very young and dynamic culture, with a beautiful HQ to boot. You feel very welcome there. - Training is high quality, and I felt that it was very commercial, covering areas that uni had glossed over. - Good facilities (a library, access to material online)

Cons

- - Very dynamic but also of a beehive mind. If you do not fit in, they will remind you of that and toss you out if you cannot adapt. - No security, as you can be kicked out any time during the training (so be very careful about moving etc., at least before the induction period). - Sales driven and it does come strongly across that they care more about their clients than the consultants - There is quite a bit of miscommunication and omission of truth

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.
