Pros

1) Provide you with some basic understanding on how IT environment works. 2) an Ok starting point if you do not have co-op experience before 3) oppo to stay in a big company with full-time offer after two years

Cons

1) two-year contract with low pay 2) All your vacation pay will be paid at the end of Jan in the next year. So if you use your vacation anytime during the year, you will not receive the full pay on that day, Only minimum payment 3) They do not care about your opinion towards the clients. You may be happy, may want to switch to another one, but they will try all their best to stop you and make you suffered there. Keep in mind, you're only a so-called full-time to them, kind of their products. 4) You potentially lose lots of good opportunities with the commitment in the two years. 5) Some of the account managers are trustworthy, some of them are not doing a good job.

Pros

It is a job that pays.

Cons

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.
