Pros

Prestigious clients - allows you to get a foot in the door.

Cons

Training operated and over valued, you could get same level of training for free on YouTube. The valuation of 20k is ridiculous. Internal HR staff and not familiar with; employment law, Maternity/ Paternity laws and pay. Account managers don't care unless they can make a commission out of you. Recruiters con you into signing up, I.e. " it doesn't matter about being geographically flexible, you get to say no if you don't want to move to the other side of the country" Training unpaid Your first salary can be months from when you first started.

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.
