Pros

Great opportunity to work at high tier companies (mostly financial) that will help you get a job placement in the future. Lots of exposure afterwards.

Cons

1. Sales people will try to place you at the job that suits them the most... least amount of work to wait, least amount of trial period. Make sure to ask about all job offers (if more than one) and get the one that suits you the best. 2. First two years you get paid terribly. You cannot live in the city alone with that kind of salary. 3. i went through the dev cycle, but because i didnt get placed within 2 months, they pushed me on a support role but sold it to me as having potential lots of dev work. When i wanted to erase the support stamp, they urged that i stayed in the company only because of the name and hope i find a dev job internally.

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.
