Pros

Good first year compensation is generous.

Cons

Majority of “Global Services” is just glorified staffing Internal favortism and two-faced Management and staffing Account Managers have no interest in becoming a services Organization — they only care about putting “butts in seats” Internal competition for same account space and contacts is detrimental to winning deals Unethical business practices get Account Managers suspended from accounts on a regular basis and that behavior is rewarded by management. Most employees started at TEK directly out of college and have no other experience. Hence they are not open to other viewpoints, they shun outsiders, and they promote children into leadership roles. Alcohol abuse is rampant with multiple happy hours per week and beer and alcohol celebrations held regularly. I’ve never seen so many drunks in one company.

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.
