Pros

- Happy and upbeat company culture that loves celebrating everything from birthdays, to performance, and holidays (and not just main stream). - Very understanding and flexible management that works with you as you start and throughout. They also regularly provide feedback. - They genuinely seem happy to have you as an employee

Cons

- Most employees are contractors and their employment is dependent on the company they are contracted to. There have been times with almost no notice, employees have been let go due to their contracted company cancelling the job. (I have heard that Skillstorm will try and work with the employee to find them another contract.) - Okay healthcare plan, but expensive for anything besides employee only health. - Hiring process wasn't very clear. There are a lot of moving parts and the time frame is too murky. I was given a start date, so I moved (to a new state) to accommodate that date, and the day before they told me, they weren't ready. I was out of work for a week because of it.

Pros

Good entry level role. Training videos weren't great but you have a proffessor available at any time. You start at 15 dollars during 3 months of training then 27 when you move to the location for the first year. The pay is increased to possibly 32 for the 2nd year depending on your evaluation.

Cons

You will likely need to relocate. The initial role they offer may not be the one you end up with. I was offered a full stack position but I had to pivot to a data engineering role, which I learned was not for me. This specefic role was a data engineer consultant which focused heavily on presenting.
