Pros

-Good connections into big companies -Negotiation for good pay once out of 2 year contract

Cons

-communication is terrible -benefits aren't great -Within the 2 year contract you are paid terribly -training isn't good -training to prepare for client placement is even worse -Once you actually negotiate for higher pay outside of the first 2 years, all the extra pay gets tacked onto a daily bonus.. so if you take time off you only get the base pay and miss the daily bonus on the days you aren't actually working

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.
