      Don't work here

      Graduate consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      If you have no experience and can't get into a graduate scheme or company, then they will hire you.

      Cons

      They don't pay you. You only get paid if you are placed on client site which is dependent on the sales team. You get 2 weeks "training" but if you leave withing 2 years you will be expected to pay it back and considering the training it was marked up can't rember if it was 4k or 8k for a basic PM course that is £200 online. The training we received was someone teaching you things that and common sense like how to send an email or "handshaking" then a basic project management course. There was pressure to sign the contract and if you left after that you would be taken to court, this was read out on my second day to sacre people and pressure them. I left on day 3 as that was the time to sign but I seen lots of people who had been sitting in the office for months without being paid as they had no placement. Any company that does not pay you but expects you to come in everyday should be shut down.

      Look elsewhere for an entrypoint into tech

      It consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1) Reasonably comprehensive training. Trainer quality is overall pretty good, but can vary. 2) You will meet a lot of peers who are also trying to start their careers. 3) Health/vision/dental benefits kick in during training.

      Cons

      1) You will work for around a month before ever receiving a paycheck . 2) $15/hr until you work on-site with a client. 3) Lower end $50K - $60K salary as a consultant (ramps up every 6 months). 4) You are locked into 2 year contract with the client; leaving FDM before then incurs a $15K fee (their value for training). 5) Account managers who facilitate client placement vary immensely in quality/professionalism. 6) Minimal support is provided after training is completed; you are mostly on your own to maintain and improve your skills. 7) Projects done after training but before client placement are poorly managed and have no full-time staff oversight. 8) Poor communication overall - decisions are constantly made that not all staff are aware of, or in agreement on. There's a general impression that a lot of people are trying their best but winging it.

      Experience is priceless

      It consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -If you wish to have a career in IT but have no experience, this is where you need to go. You gain real knowledge and skills in the industry and the experience you gain is priceless. I had no background in IT whatsoever and could not find a job. Now I have offers lined up. -The trainers, for the most part, do a good job. The quality of your training is entirely up to the amount of work you willing to put into it. Don't try? You won't get far. -The exposure to different clients via interviews and events really helps you to gain an understanding about what corporate looks for in a candidate. (This will be really helpful when you're looking for jobs on your own.) -No one talks about it but the benefits are really good. My health insurance is incredible.

      Cons

      -Pay is bad. $12/hr during training, $45k-$50k during your 2 years as a consultant. If you have to relocate, expenses such as Rent, food, gas add up fast. It's completely manageable though. -Geoflexible i.e. You must be ready to move ANYWHERE AT A MOMENT'S NOTICE. I'm not kidding. If you get an interview for a position on the other side of the country and you get the job, pack your bags kid, you're going. Don't want to? You'll have to pay $30k to break the contract. Yeah. This aspect horrified me when I first joined but I've actually enjoyed my placement, can't say the same for some of my other fellow consultants.
