Pros

Foot on the ladder Good exposure to interesting clients Decent support once placed

Cons

- Heavily misleading numbers on placements - I saw far more people not get placed than the marketing material would have you believe. - Aggressive Account Managers - I was on the dev stream (happy to relocate) but I had several account managers try to push roles that had little to do with development. - Long times to get placed - for several people in Glasgow they went the full six months (3 months training, 3 months benched - all unpaid) before either having to drop out or extend their contract and get placed after this.

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.
