Pros

In this economy, TEKsystems can be a great place to build your resume right out of school and gain experience in a professional environment

Cons

TEKsystems greatly underpays its employees (both consultants and internal employees) and has very little to no opportunity for growth. They have a core set of values that is akin to those of a cult and in order to get ahead it does not matter how well you're doing your job but who you "build relationships with." The company does not care about its employees, the benefits are terrible, the pay is far below average and they expect their employees to eliminate the life from the work life balance they often preach

Pros

- Decent pay to start. - Account manager is responsive, engaging, and a serious advocate for you and your contract. - Gain access to Udemy Business to build more skills.

Cons

- The benefits suck. - High recruiter turnover with highly variable experience trying to work with them-- some are good, most are not. - Once you are placed, you will be promised regular meetings and then never hear from the recruiter again. - Trying to find a new contract if you are unhappy with your current placement is nearly impossible and I don't believe they are incentivized to help you move at all. - You have to manually request a raise and depending on how you negotiated your contract, you may or may not have the ability to receive one. - There is a cap to how much they will pay you for the contract so even if you work that position 4 years, once you hit that cap you are stuck. I originally submitted my resume with TekSystems when I had finished my degree and never heard back. Many years later, I was approached on LinkedIn by a TekSystems recruiter for a position and he had no idea I was in the system previously. Working with him was good, and I did get the position. Then I never heard from him again and I've had 4 or 5 different recruiters whose names I could not tell you if I tried since then. There's supposed to be monthly calls, they never happen.
