Pros

Originally had GREAT people there. Small office atmosphere (branches) with large company benefits (healthcare, compensation, etc.)

Cons

Management has changed core focus over past 3-5 years and employees are less valued than in past. significant office closures due to economy and commission plans reduced. many of the Best people have left organization due to these changes. and corporate model is to hire "young and cheap" talent and throw them to the market.

Pros

Friendly and responsive recruiters. Very large agency, which has potential advantages in terms of placement opportunities. Good pay rates. Does not come across as a fly-by-night "body shop", like so many other high tech placement firms.

Cons

Benefit package was so-so. The health plans were quite expensive (I was hoping for more reasonable plans considering their size). Local office (formerly Sapphire Technologies) seemed reluctant to help me find international placements. I'd expressed interest in taking on long-term gigs in exotic locales (like Paris, London, Hong Kong), but the recruiters didn't help. They just told me to use the company's website to search for positions. My biggest complaint was that after my gig was finished at Wells Fargo, Vedior was not able to find any additional work for me, even though I'd received glowing reviews from my managers and colleagues at Wells Fargo. Granted, this happened during a bad recession. Nevertheless, the tech sector has really picked up lately...
