Pros
The salary offer was pretty good for the Detroit area, however don't expect to be employed for long.
Cons
Awful business practices. Examples: - At my one year anniversary, I asked my S3 account manager about my performance review and salary increase. The account manager smiled and said, "I know that's probably what the recruiter said, but that's not the way it really works". The bottom line is the salary you start at is the one you'll probably always have. But if you look at the S3 employee manual is says that you'll be evaluated at 6 months and then again at one year. In the one year that I worked for S3, I heard from my account manager once - when he needed a favor from me. - S3 would send people to interview for positions who clearly weren't skilled enough for the position. S3 checks none of the skills listed on the resume when people hire in. If you are a company thinking of hiring a S3 contractor, you must do your own careful evaluation of whether the person really has the skills and experience that is on their resume. - Some of the S3 people I worked with had little or no IT skills, couldn't write a single sentence correctly and an accent so strong that some couldn't be understood. - Look the the S3 web site on the "news" page. The last entry was in 2009?! The last newsletter was in 2007. S3 isn't growing or improving. It operates to make bundles of cash for a few s lect few at the top of S3
