Pros

1. Full-Time Job with benefits and 401k. 2. Great place to start your IT Career and getting you foot in the door. 3. Freely included IT Training and Certification Class Materials via Udemy and Coursera.

Cons

1. Poor communication between contracting company, ByteDance. Aura of secrecy and mistrust due to ByteDance being a Chinese company and Astreya being an American company 2. No long term plan to move into a Full-Time position after contract ends. 3. No training or guidance on what to do from management. 4. Employees are treated like third-class citizens. Examples: Wellness Days were taken away from new employees, you have to work there for more than 2 years to get sick leave. Thankfully we were grandfathered by this new policy, still stinks for new employees though. Also no Christmas or Summer Bonus, only Amazon/eCommerce gift cards. 5. Remote Work only on Weekends and Holidays 6. Bare Minimum Pay Rate and Benefits

Pros

Supportive management and good benefits.

Cons

I worked under contract for one of their clients. Was supposed to be trained for 3-4 weeks but the trainers stopped training me at the end of the first week. From weeks 2-3 they stopped having consistent communication with me and just gave me tasks. One went on vacation and the other went on a business trip. Once one of the trainers came back, I saw and communicated with her only once before she decided to let me go. Horrible trainers on the client side but good management support when it comes to Astreya.
