Pros

None absolutely none. The place is a circus.

Cons

Very cliquey. They use scare tactics to keep you in the company knowing you cant pay back the training fees which they will make back in 4 to 6 months after placement. While training you dont get paid. They say they love unique intelligent individuals, they crush all creativity and uniqueness they punish opinions and do not accept constructive criticism. They expect you to accept being treated like crap and be happy about it. They say they support women in IT, graduates, exForces personnel, and returnees they give no support to any mental health issues, family issues or grievances. The management treat the trainees and beached consultants like children and exploit the need for a job. They have a habit of humiliating trainees and consultants. Any complaints from consultants are not taken seriously and are told to suck it up and deal with it. Not only this but if an account manager isn't happy the complaints are taken to extremes.

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.
