Pros

working in central London, 'prepping' you for the corporate world as you have to look smart every day

Cons

the business model is awful. they try to teach you everything from scratch in around 4 days and make you take an exam on the 5th day of the week, if you fail you basically get one more go and if you fail again you're out. it's a terrible way of doing things to young graduates and it's also very cut-throat in the way you are used as just a number to get pushed out and make money for them. they also pay you pennies in comparison to what they get as you're contracting for them so you're salary is ridiculous.

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.
