Pros

TEKsystems offers fantastic training and I truly feel like I've gone professionally hear. My particular office has a great workplace culture and I enjoy everyone I work with. Leadership is empathetic and understanding, and there's a lot of opportunity if you stay long term.

Cons

The market is horrible, and when it's horrible, it's hard to make headway, no matter how skilled you are. Furthermore, there's been a lot of attrition with their account managers, so the relationships we've had with our top clients has diminished. You can find the perfect candidate, but you will often be ignored by the tenured account managers who remain because they don't know you and don't want to bother to get to know you. It can be kind of rat race. Also, the entry level salary isn't much to live on. There a clear paths to earn more income, but with the market the way it is, there are loads of people who aren't getting pay bumps.

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.
