Pros

The only genuinely positive things I can say are about the middle management people. They are all genuinely trying their best to balance the directives of the Directors and CEOs and the actual practical day to day operations.

Cons

WFH: They claim the position is "flexible" but only allow one work from home day, unless you've worked for the company for more than. FIVE YEARS. There is no company cohesion. There are so many moving parts of the company that do not interact with each other, but somehow dictate each other's operations. Training: people are constantly trained incorrectly or not at all, myself included. If you show any talent or initiative the company will immediately try to exploit you for more than you are paid for. DO NOT WORK HERE

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.
