Pros

A good opportunity to work in a bluechip company that may not otherwise have been accessible through grad programmes etc.

Cons

Excel training is a photocopy of Excel VBA for dummies! Unpaid training for x no of weeks (stream dependant) - which is costly especially in London. Salary (specifically for London cost of living) is derisory - no added benefits on top of this. Be prepared to move - don't care if you have responsibilities eg mortgage, rent agreement Highly inflexible and means they can be unreasonable. Sack people because they "haven't got enough placements" the week before Christmas.

Pros

The training is mostly good. The Unix training skims some topics. SQL is intense and the Java training is top notch.

Cons

only 25% of java trainees get a job as a java developer. the training is 3 months and they make you wait another 90 days. So you have to be ready to have no salary for up to 180 days! They don't pay any expenses, no travel, no lunch. They expect you to come in when training is done. If the sales people don't think you look good, you never get placed! Most people I trained with found jobs on their own or are still waiting!! They are an English company that does not understand how we work in this country. The sales people are mostly British and don't close any deals with New York companies. They want to send you to Canada! They make you sign a contract and you are stuck.. This is indentured servitude. Beware!!!!
