Pluspunten

You’re almost guaranteed a placement after training. The trainers are usually very nice and helpful. You get plenty of support DURING training (almost none after).

Minpunten

-If you leave before the first 2 years, you have to pay for the training (costs more than 2 years of a university degree) -The pay is awful -After training, you’re left to sink or swim. -No say in what placement you get. If you dislike the placement or are a bad fit for the role, you’re stuck for the length of the contract. -After the mandatory training, I was asked to complete upskilling training ahead of my placement. Still went into the placement with absolutely no useful knowledge and it was very difficult to get my bearings.

Pluspunten

It is a job that pays.

Minpunten

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.
