Pros

- Decent training program if you don't know python, linux or sql. - WFH training if youre living in Melb (at the time of writing, as they are getting a new office in Melb)

Cons

- Selection process about the jobs are unclear, the Account Managers don't tell you why you havent made the cut - Pointless internal projects by the Academy (Didn't get to work on any "real world" projects, it felt like we could of done this in our spare time) - Lack of opportunities. Nov 2022,I asked the recruiter, what was the possibility that consultants would not get any roles, she said that she has never seen this happen, consultants get jobs all the time. Lo and behold, I only got 2 interviews in the span of 6 months, this was the same with many of my collegues at the time.

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.
