Pros

Some lovely and genuine people.

Cons

The Senior Management could not care less about the health and safety of their employees. When concerns about returning to the office were raised, employees were still forced to attend the office a minimum 3 days per week and even full time for some. They would literally shout at you if you expressed any concern about potentially being exposed to Covid-19 as a reason for wanting to work from home. Sales team were asked to LIE to their clients that they were working from home to create an illusion. One day everyone was crammed into a room (40+) to watch a video and surprise the CEO for the 20th anniversary of the company, in the midst of a global PANDEMIC. It’s not right that they can get away with this without any repercussion. Timesheet completion was put in place and made mandated by management for a few internal teams which showed how little people were trusted at this company. Those who voiced their concerns were even questioned and ostracised by certain management members unfavourably. It was shocking and extremely immature behaviour from people at that level. It’s NOT leadership. It’s dictatorship. Salaries for both internal staff and consultants are greatly below the going rates in the market. ZERO benefits other than those mandated by law. Shambles.

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.
