Deceitful. Horrible Temp Agency.

Software engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

Provides entry into the field via big name clients, where it's then a tossup if you'll love/hate your day to day.

Cons

Pays below market rate for software roles. Very few benefits. Lies to you about contract-to-hire situations. Not transparent. Quite cutthroat. Oblivious to how much they think they provide value to developers. Thinks they're doing such life changing work. Completely neglectful of how exploitative they are.

Pros

You get some experience in a high stress environment.

Cons

Company thrives on college drinking culture which is why they choose to only higher people out of college who were in fraternities or sororities. There’s no diversity at all. You are sold a dream and management basically makes you tell potential employees that you love your job. Once you’re not “drinking the kool-aid you’re on your way out. In the Charlotte market we had 4 people get fired and 6 people quit within a 8 month period. Either you’re new or you’ve been with the company 7+ years. No in-between. I promise you can make more money in a less stressful environment working on full placement roles rather than contract.

Pros

Some people there are fine and the opportunity for money is great.

Cons

The leadership is so corrupt and incredibly dysfunctional. It's a lot of performative actions that go on at the company but behind the scenes it is horrible. Unethical decisions and choices and really only value the people who are making the most money regardless of how they act and treat others.
