Pros

Getting paid while on bench or in training before you get put on a project. Plenty of time to look for a new job.

Cons

Serious lack of management and communication. Supervisors expect more out of their new hires than what should be expected. I have felt lost most of my time here and feel hopeless due to a lack of support from people who should be encouraging my new, blossoming career. Cannot choose which stream training or project you are placed on, which makes things worse if you are unable to do either understand the stream training or cannot meet the very high expectations of your client manager. Definitely not worth the stress. Good for a year of experience if you can last that long.
