Pros

Flexible schedules, interesting work, and high profile clients. Many say that TEK is a great employer for those who want entry level jobs and some quality experience.

Cons

From my experience, Teksystems is very good at treating it's employees as if they were in preschool. I have watched several different managers cycle through, but the style of management and the lack of respect has remained the same. TEK has some great people working for them and they are lucky to have them but they tend to ignore these folks. Management seems to have no idea what industry they are working in and they enjoy investing half of their budget on attempting (poorly) to track productivity in the office instead of using their money in more productive was. Politics rule the office at TEKsystems and you better suck up if you want to better your career!

Pros

Teksystems have top rated clients in their radar and the recruiters are always ready to listen and try to give solution if there are any roadblocks as they render a comfortable platform to discuss anything regarding the contract.

Cons

pay range quoted is OK (medium ballpark) but unable to negotiate

Pros

- Decent pay to start. - Account manager is responsive, engaging, and a serious advocate for you and your contract. - Gain access to Udemy Business to build more skills.

Cons

- The benefits suck. - High recruiter turnover with highly variable experience trying to work with them-- some are good, most are not. - Once you are placed, you will be promised regular meetings and then never hear from the recruiter again. - Trying to find a new contract if you are unhappy with your current placement is nearly impossible and I don't believe they are incentivized to help you move at all. - You have to manually request a raise and depending on how you negotiated your contract, you may or may not have the ability to receive one. - There is a cap to how much they will pay you for the contract so even if you work that position 4 years, once you hit that cap you are stuck. I originally submitted my resume with TekSystems when I had finished my degree and never heard back. Many years later, I was approached on LinkedIn by a TekSystems recruiter for a position and he had no idea I was in the system previously. Working with him was good, and I did get the position. Then I never heard from him again and I've had 4 or 5 different recruiters whose names I could not tell you if I tried since then. There's supposed to be monthly calls, they never happen.
