Pros

- Outstanding office and facilities: always clean, modern, great central location, great kitchen/coffee machines, great stationary provided, desk and chairs are very comfortable, open plan office and no closed doors, games area - People: everyone is so down to earth and nice. There is no visible hierarchy and anyone at any level can comfortably speak to another. Lots of integration between teams, so you get to meet new faces in the office all the time. Generally everyone is positive, driven and has a good attitude towards work and problem-solving. - Management: very friendly and approachable, train you well, open to suggestions, down to earth and present in the office with the team, caring and inquisitive as to how you are getting on. Constructively critical if something goes wrong. - Other: the opportunity to train yourself on areas that you desire is there, all you have to do is ask. The company are also not afraid if change so if you have suggestions, you are encouraged to say them.

Cons

- starting holiday offering is not great (20 days but you have to take 3 for Christmas so technically 17 of your choice) - there is no set time for social activities, this has to be organised yourself if you want to do something on the side of extra fun. It would be good to have some after work clubs or something like "dress down Friday" once a month just to boost employee morale.

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.
