Pros

Good way to build experience if you are a recent graduate.

Cons

Recruiter called me out of the blue for a position. I was not interested, but referred a colleague who was offered and accepted the position. He and I met all requirements necessary for me to receive the referral bonus. However, once I was eligible to receive it, the recruiter suddenly stopped returning my calls. I left messages with others in the office, who said they would check into it and get back to me, but never did.

Pros

Teksystems have top rated clients in their radar and the recruiters are always ready to listen and try to give solution if there are any roadblocks as they render a comfortable platform to discuss anything regarding the contract.

Cons

pay range quoted is OK (medium ballpark) but unable to negotiate

Pros

The recruiter I worked with was actually really great and got me placed super fast. The benefits for contractors are decent compared to other staffing agencies I've seen. Honestly, getting a big enterprise client on my resume was exactly what I needed to step up my career, so I'm grateful for that.

Cons

Once you're actually working at the client site, it feels like TEKsystems kind of forgets about you. Communication drops off hard after the first few weeks. Also, their cut of the pay rate is pretty noticeable, but I guess that's just the industry standard for contract roles.
