Pros

Pay increases from minimum pay to 45k in the first 2 years and can increase substantially after the 2 years contract or could get converted into permanent employee by the client.

Cons

If you want to work for few days while on vacation, the company policy doesn't permit that which could result in very few days of vacation(in case of an international trip). After 2 years contract, even though the annual pay is high, base pay is fixed at 50k and rest of the pay will paid in the form of daily bonus which will be paid only if you work for that day. This could result in loss of pay while on vacation or sickness.

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.
