Pros

They did provide a "boot-camp" style training course for iOS/Objective C, and accomodations (3 bedroom apartment shared by 6).

Cons

Although they claim the course was worth $16K, the course quality was extremely poor. Macbooks were provided, reluctantly, after the instructor spent a week trying to get Xcode development to work on our own PC's. The course consisted mainly of sitting through $150 Udemy Internet lectures on various topics ranging from HTML5 to NodeJs. Almost no time was given for reviewing or practicing the material afterwards. Objective C was taught from "iOS Programming, The Big Nerd Ranch". We raced through the book spending very little time on each topic, but still having to do the coding challenges at the end of each chapter. I spent an average of 15 hours per day just to keep up. Most of the tests were on how to fool interviewers into thinking you knew what you were talking about, giving memorized answers without understanding what you were saying. Upon completion of the boot-camp, we were "marketed" to vendors as SENIOR developers, with forged resumes claiming years of non-existent work experience. Of course, we would be paid $25/hr while they billed clients 3 times that much. All contact with vendors and clients was closely controlled by Nutech, and they became irate if you told the vendor or client that you were entry-level. They threatened to come after us for the $16K "investment" they made if we wanted to leave. If you have a soul and want to keep it, stay away from these people!

Pros

If you are in desperate need for a job these people are willing to help you sell your soul to the devil. The pay is ok. They also pay for travel to client site/hotel for 2 weeks/an apartment (completely paid for) to stay when you first join to help get you on a contract(this is a consulting firm). They helped me to get on a project very quickly.

Cons

Where to begin? Noncompete Clause, Reimbursement for Training in the tune of 20k if you quit, No benefits, Lies Lies and more Lies. They will change your resume and put lies in it. They impersonate you and tell their companies that you have years of experiences and worked at companies that you never have worked for. They will intimidate you into lying to their "clients" [they just spam Indeed with their deceitfully prepared resume] to get a project. They also completely changed the job type/title/duration. What they offer (other then the pay) is a lie. Do not work for these crooks.
