Pros

- Easy to get hired with little to no experience - Experience depends on assignment - Light work load in my experience - Easy way to connect with large companies - Networking if you are able to be placed on a team that is more collaborative with contract company. I don't think this is typical at Vaco however. - Biggest highlight: This role got me the experience to find a role at a new company where my career opportunities and pay are exponentially higher

Cons

- Low pay, even if you're a team lead. I received a pitiful 3 dollar raise when promoted to team lead for a major tech company. - Your experience will definitely be determined on your assignment. - Was promised a raise for a whole year. When I requested it at the year mark, it was denied. Even when performance was steadily of a higher caliber than some of my teammates. - Management seems to settle for mediocracy in its hires.

Pros

They reached out to me. Followed up with me and kept me informed throughout the entire process.

Cons

None. The assignment is region specific but that has nothing to do with Vaco

Pros

Vaco placed me in an IT Governance/Architecture contract role at $xxx/hour and was hands-on throughout the entire process. They guided me through every stage of the interview, provided great prep, and kept communication tight. If you’re a senior tech professional looking for high-value contract placements, I’d highly recommend working with them. They’re responsive, professional, and clearly invested in your success — not just filling a seat.

Cons

None I can Think of
