Pros

Lots of training available Supportive trainers Pays for certifications Whilst training, you get your travel costs to the academy subsidised

Cons

The salespeople are typical recruiters - at times can be very difficult to reach, sometimes do not bother giving feedback regarding interviews and put you forward for roles that you have not been trained to do whatsoever (a recruiter tactic) Once placed on site, you are binded to a 2 year contract and cannot leave without incurring high levels of costs

Thank you for taking the time to post a review. It’s great to hear that you value the training and the business model. I completely agree that feedback should be given to trainees and if this hasn’t been done with you please come and see me or email me so that I can look into this further. Andy Brown – Chief Commercial Officer

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.
