Pros

They have really good projects and clients Interview process and onboarding was smooth If a client wants to take you in, TEKsystems doesn't hold anything against you, they give you the freedom to move.

Cons

Great hikes are promised during the interview and initial stages, but within 2 years and 6 months, all I got was one 6 percent hike, despite client manager giving me a really good feedback. No response to any issues or complaints raised from HR team. Emails are ignored/ copy pasted answers are given despite multiple follow ups. Candidate managers will be assigned but they don't really contribute much, despite any greviences reported- they just take quarterly calls with you to take down notes and not really do anything about it . Asked for a 2 month holiday and was asked to either cancel plans or quit- I wonder how the maternity policies work here in that case. Eventually quit as the HR teams are least bothered about employee welfare, although the client I worked for was actually really great.

Pros

- Decent pay to start. - Account manager is responsive, engaging, and a serious advocate for you and your contract. - Gain access to Udemy Business to build more skills.

Cons

- The benefits suck. - High recruiter turnover with highly variable experience trying to work with them-- some are good, most are not. - Once you are placed, you will be promised regular meetings and then never hear from the recruiter again. - Trying to find a new contract if you are unhappy with your current placement is nearly impossible and I don't believe they are incentivized to help you move at all. - You have to manually request a raise and depending on how you negotiated your contract, you may or may not have the ability to receive one. - There is a cap to how much they will pay you for the contract so even if you work that position 4 years, once you hit that cap you are stuck. I originally submitted my resume with TekSystems when I had finished my degree and never heard back. Many years later, I was approached on LinkedIn by a TekSystems recruiter for a position and he had no idea I was in the system previously. Working with him was good, and I did get the position. Then I never heard from him again and I've had 4 or 5 different recruiters whose names I could not tell you if I tried since then. There's supposed to be monthly calls, they never happen.
