So many cons I don't even know where to start (this company breathes lies), I'll just start from the beginning:
- You're probably here because EITHER they contacted you and you want to see if they are legit (they aren't) or you were looking for a junior/entry level position and they came up in your search. This is NOT an ENTRY LEVEL POSITION. This is mid to senior level position. So then how do they take entry level people and give them mid/senior level positions? They LIE. 5 fives worth of LIES. (funny thing is that they target college grads, which means you starting working in the programming industry when you were in high school) You forfeit your resume to them and they write real company names, and dates of your "employment" there, even though you didn't do that, then you have to sell this to an unsuspecting company. This is illegal. If you are ever found out by that company, you are subsequently fired and can face a civil suits against YOU. Oh and remember, you were fired, which means you have to go through getting placed again and HOPE this company DOESN'T find out.
Next you must keep track of where they are sending your resume because, as you might already know, companies keep the resumes you submit in a database and if you later on in life turn in a resume that contradicts the resume you turned in through multivision? You're aren't getting that job and you might even be blacklisted from working at that company forever.
- Your pay (50K, which, let's be honest, is probably what made you come to this company anyways) is crap. Remember, you have 5 years of experience and a 5 year experienced person gets paid well over 6 figures. Yeah. They are making more than you off of a job you are doing. This is why they can do the whole after one year you get paid 60K-70K and after 2 years you get paid 70K-80K, and 3+ years 90K+. Also, 50K is also a LIE, they charge by "billable hours" and you only get a rate of $24.04 an hour, which if you multiply by 40 hours a week and 52 weeks in a year, yes you get $50,000, but you aren't going to be working 52 weeks in a year and sometimes not even 40 hours a week. Actually pay is probably around 40K and keep in mind they can send you anywhere in the US, which means you have to start a new life there. That 40K might only barely do that for you, barely. And I;m assuming you're lucky enough to get a 1-2 year contract. If you get a 6 month contract? You won't be getting paid for when that contract ends AND you have to pay for moving again. All in all, This 50K is probably only equal to 20K-30K.
- Your "FREE" housing for the training period, is NOT free. You just don't have to pay it right away, They deduct it off of your paychecks when you are placed. Which going back to the paragraph above, is even less money for you. 50K, right? You housing is also bad. They currently have two locations, The Towers or Oakton apartments, the rumors around is that less and less are placed into the apartments, which are he better of the two, because of cost. The Towers are nice, if you like Police knocking on your door at 2 AM in the morning about a drug filled apartment, murder, or suicide next door.
- Internet is SOOOOOOOO slow, as a tech company, this is unacceptable.
- The Economy is being hurt so badly by this company, since all of you are being sent out as 5 years experienced which you obviously aren't, because you're entry level, they will fire you at some point and will ask for 6-10 years experience for an entry level position. Also, this company is an extension of multivision in India. Literally, you final exam (people from India), your marketers (People from India on a work visa), EVERYONE is Indian. I'm not racist, but this is the closest I've ever been.
- The LIES and unbearable, when a company you're interview for asks for you old (fake) boss' number or references from the (fake) companies you worked for, you are suppose to tell them, I'll need to go find that and send it to you later. Then your marketer "takes care of it". The only time you don't lie is when the company sends a third party to investigate you for a security clearance.
- If you want a better understanding (since this company is all but invisible on the internet) Google "What happens at multivision stays at multivision", should be the first link, but if it isn't, it's a wordpress site. I and anyone whose been through the training can verify that everything on that page is true.
