Pros

General working hours are pretty great. Most people are contracted for 9am to 5:30pm or 8:30am to 5:30pm. People are generally nice except certain individuals in higher up positions.

Cons

Benefits aren't great. You don't get sick pay for your first 2 years. You get 20 days holiday but you must spend 3 of them between Christmas and New Year. They don't have cycle to work scheme or season ticket loan. You are eligible for some discounts to some shops etc but it's not that helpful. You must wear professional business attire (men must be in suit and tie), no casual Fridays. Pay is pretty low across the board for IT consultants, Recruitment and HR.

Pros

It is a job that pays.

Cons

They will promise you opportunities that don't exist. The company they contract you to will promise you work that you will not be assigned. I was a Java Consultant with a masters degree in Math and certificate in full stack and I was shoved into a manual testing position that required zero coding and constantly dangled automation in front of my face. When I was asked to look at Selenium, I studied it in some of the copious amounts of downtime i had and was reprimanded during the next meeting for 'wasting company time'. I moved from Texas to New Jersey for my first position. After contracts with the company were terminated, I was pulled off my assignment only to be abruptly fired for "lack of geoflexibility" despite willingness to move to several places they do business including NYC and even Denver. There is no accountability from them as the only response they give is "the decision is final". There is no way to appeal a blatant lie. Their company has no integrity and side with business majors over people that know how chemicals and physics and electrical components work just seem like bad life decisions. They will say you can reapply but they won't hire you. They'd full of it at every angle.
