Pros

They might give you a good hike, but don't fall for it if you want career security. I joined considering the good money, however could not stay for more than 5 months due to the company's ill-treatment.

Cons

- They cheated me by not informing that my employment will be contractual. They mentioned everywhere in their documents that it is full time employment with them without mentioning any dependency on client. However at the day of induction ( I had already rejected other offers and moved to a new city) they told that the day client project gets over or they plan to downsize, my notice period will start and they will let go of me. - It is very difficult to get any sort of reimbursement from them, esp if you are sent abroad for project requirement, they might ask you to put money from your pocket and not reimburse you without your constant nagging. - Very less concern for employee issues - my emails for resignation, coordination with client, my last day formalities, medical reimbursement, timesheet everything remained unanswered - Client asked me to work on Furlough days and even after informing TekSystems, they didnt give me salary or comp off for those days

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.
