Pros

This is a really good company that can teach you relevant skills and programs used in the Financial and Tech industry. You get 3 months of intensive training then you get placed. More often than not you get placed in positions that usually require between 3 to 5 years of experience, so if you are a fresh graduate this is especially helpful if you don't have connections. You are tied into a contract for 2 years, but after the two years, you have a really high chance of getting internalized at the blue chip company you were placed at (with a significant pay raise).

Cons

Pay is not the greatest but it's okay

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.
