Pros

If you are fresh out of college this is a good way to get in a year of experience under your belt and they know that... that's why they pay so low. Your co-workers are all relatively young and it's a "fun" environment. Free lunches/breakfast, happy hours, don't have to be concerned about HR around here.

Cons

The employees here don't care about you during the work day and won't hesitate to stab you behind the back. Everyone is all about what is in their best interest and does not care what they have to do to get there. If you take a job at this company stay guarded and don't trust anyone. And if you are looking for any type of work/life balance do not consider this place.

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.
