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

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.
