Pros

Provides entry into the field via big name clients, where it's then a tossup if you'll love/hate your day to day.

Cons

Pays below market rate for software roles. Very few benefits. Lies to you about contract-to-hire situations. Not transparent. Quite cutthroat. Oblivious to how much they think they provide value to developers. Thinks they're doing such life changing work. Completely neglectful of how exploitative they are.

Pros

The company culture is phenomenal. Each day I’m pushed out of my comfort zone and have seen immense growth personally & professionally since joining the company. You also get to create your own book of business which is very empowering.

Cons

Depending on the client, sometimes the sales lifecycle can take longer than expected.

Pros

It was a paycheck and it was weekly pay.

Cons

Recruiter purposefully used inconsistent or vague language. Example: "We will pay for a Net+ or Security+ certification. Reality: They will reimburse you for it if you pass and it's still not a guarantee. Told the position was CTH. It is not, it is long term contract. Subpar benefits, even for a contract. Left me feeling like all I was is a resource to them.

Thank you for taking time to share your feedback. We believe in building relationship-focused connections with our consultants, so we want to provide benefits to emphasize the approach. To focus on your needs, we recognize six paid holidays each year and offer eligibility to participate in our 401k plan after a year of employment (1,000 hours). We hope you consider consulting with us on another engagement!
