Pros

They train you and take recent grads

Cons

Interviewer was 20 minutes late for a scheduled phone interview. Interviewer chewed me out for not "investigating the company enough" repeating exactly what I said about the company but chiming in that they train for 16 weeks. Interviewer asked me about Excel and VBA which was weird, turns out, based on the emails, she was interviewing me about the Business Analyst position instead of the Software Developer position because she had to follow up that email with, "Disregard previous email". Did the video test and logic test and receive a follow up call for an in-person interview that she starts off with, "How do you think you did on the interview?" Every interaction left me feeling so awkward. Why ask that unless she wants to see me sweat? I respond with "Um...I thought I did fine". "Calling to let you know we are inviting you to an on-site interview. We need you to be there by 8;45 and it lasts until about 2;30" (so why did she ask how it went?!) I am in another city. To make that 8;45, I am going to have to come the day before and book a hotel. No offer of reimbursement for an all day interview including people skills and technical skills. Worst yet, I look around to find it is a 2 year contract job, and you start off making minimum wage but if you get placed immediately after training, then you get a 'daily bonus' that would supplement your income to 40k a year...in TORONTO.

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.
