Pros

They provide free training for every trainee, so if you don’t have a technical background, they can prepare you for a technical interview. They provide competitive salary for fresh graduates. The medical insurance package is good. If you are fresh to the market, they can often get you into big names with a role that would be pretty hard to apply yourself. If you are lucky enough ( that depends on the client contract), you can often get to work for 2+ companies in different roles in your two years contract.

Cons

If you are already technical enough (with computer science background), 3/4 of the training would be a waste of your time. The training they provided is a fast tracked one, with one module each week and ends each module with an examination so you kind of crossed out items on a checklist for interview, but that does not mean you have acquired the knowledge for your work. You don’t get to choose which role or client you are assigned to. They have some blue-chip companies but they also have a local mix (still big names tho). Employees voices are not valued. On-site support is minimal. No paid sick leave. If you resign before the 2 years contract ends, you are going to pay a large sum of money regardless of the time u spent.

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.
