The job I was hired to fill was a good job. TEKsystems could care less about its consultants. - Anonymous employee TEKsystems Employee Review

Pros

TEKsystems is one avenue for finding an IT position which may be a quicker avenue than people who are stuck in the the "trying to get an interview" stage of job seeking, out on their own. It helps to have a recruiter trying to sell your skills to a client. Yes you still have to pass the interviews, but you may get more of those opportunities.

Cons

Once placed in a contracted assignment (this does not refer to direct placement employment), consultants may feel like invisible, unappreciated, disposable cogs at TEK although they are doing a fantastic job for a client. At no time did anyone from TEK discuss let alone congratulate my performance nor discuss any development opportunities with me. "Career growth" was of course non-existent. Communication, responsiveness from HQ regarding important policy issues and changes was virtually nonexistent. There is nothing in TEKsystem's practices towards its employees to cultivate morale, or a culture of trust or loyalty for staying with TEK. In fact the opposite was true and there were many unpleasant surprises that made me wonder how they expect to keep good people. I say all of this this as a consultant who completed a long term assignment with TEK and left the assignment at its natural end and left the client on extremely good terms and have no resentment about the end of it.

Pros

Ample opportunity for growth and development, great team environment and very supportive. This company will give you the skills you need to go elsewhere if you decide to do so, I had a tremendous experience there.

Cons

You have to be extremely adaptable, which isn’t necessarily a con. But just something you need to understand.

Pros

Recruiters are friendly and engaged *at first

Cons

My experience with TEKsystems revealed major issues in how candidates are managed and communicated with. After completing all onboarding requirements and being told I was cleared for a role, I was even welcomed by the client as part of the team and informed that I would be starting soon. At that point, I reasonably expected a smooth transition into the position. Instead, communication from the recruiting team became inconsistent and, eventually, nonexistent. Several promised updates never arrived. I had to initiate contact repeatedly just to confirm basic information, and responses often came late, from different people, or with no context. At one point, I was told the team “wasn’t aware I was still available,” despite multiple documented interactions showing I had remained fully engaged and ready to begin. The most concerning part was being asked to re‑interview for a role I had already been cleared for — a clear sign that my status was not being tracked internally. Even after that second interview, I received no follow‑up from the recruiters who were supposed to be coordinating the process. I ultimately learned the client had moved forward with someone else, but only because I reached out directly. TEKsystems never communicated this themselves, nor did they provide any explanation for the breakdown in communication. TEKsystems works with reputable clients and offers solid opportunities, but candidates should be prepared to advocate for themselves constantly. In my experience, even being fully onboarded, welcomed by the client, and told I was part of the team did not guarantee proper follow‑through. Clear, consistent, and accountable communication is essential in staffing — and unfortunately, that was not my experience here.
