Pros

If you're a woman, then its s good company. Used to have good clients but most banks have left them No other pros

Cons

once you finish training, the office will demotivate and force you to go for any job, any role and any location. if you dont take that regardless of circumstances, they'll threaten to sue you. They'll ALWAYS blame you and point the finger at you even if senior management or account managers are to blame. Help with relocation is non existent and they could tell you that you'll be at a firm for 12 months, but fdm will say that you are needed back after a month for no reason (lose house deposit) For every sick day, you lose £75 per day. They could give you a start date but they'll keep changing it until you start around a month after the original start date. Guys will be told they have interviews but they end up being removed from those lists because they are adding girls to interviews even if the girls don't match the job spec.(sexist) For 9/10 interviews, you won't have a job spec, or even know what you will be doing in that role until after your interview. Account managers see every trainee as 'walking commission'

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.
