Pros

TEKsystems invests a lot of time into training their employees. Other than that, there is nothing good to say. They say they care about their employees, but they don't. They are a 5+ billion dollar company and they still offer below than average health benefits to their employees. There was one point that the company had too much money and they had to "bleed the tires" so they gave all of the employees that were already making a ton of money a huge bonus. Nothing for anyone else and/or no changes to the health benefits. The number one thing on the bi-annual employee survey every year is better health benefits, and every year they go un-changed.

Cons

Excessive hours; Management wants to know everything about your personal life so they can use it against you; Unfair promotions; Incompetent managers; Micro management techniques that they refer to as "performance management" because they say they don't micro manage. They are so bell bent on how the company was started and the "culture" that they ignore everything else that can make the company better.

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.
