Pros

If you have no experience and can't get into a graduate scheme or company, then they will hire you.

Cons

They don't pay you. You only get paid if you are placed on client site which is dependent on the sales team. You get 2 weeks "training" but if you leave withing 2 years you will be expected to pay it back and considering the training it was marked up can't rember if it was 4k or 8k for a basic PM course that is £200 online. The training we received was someone teaching you things that and common sense like how to send an email or "handshaking" then a basic project management course. There was pressure to sign the contract and if you left after that you would be taken to court, this was read out on my second day to sacre people and pressure them. I left on day 3 as that was the time to sign but I seen lots of people who had been sitting in the office for months without being paid as they had no placement. Any company that does not pay you but expects you to come in everyday should be shut down.

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.
