Pros

- Quick process from the application being sent to being offered a job. Speaks more volumes about them recruiting en masse to fill quotas as opposed to recruiting qualified and quality candidates.

Cons

- lack of transparency - poor training and obscenely high pass marks - no communication - sales team incessantly badgering you to take any roles available to fill their commission rates without conducting SWOT analysis on your suitability. - replaced exit fees with a cutthroat system of culling employees who didn't match their 'standards' - not suitable for graduates looking for long-term careers - been in the news recently facing controversy from its exit fees plan

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.
