Pros

I've been a with Aquent for 10 years now, and they always find me interesting work within days. The recruiters do a great job of matching your skill set with relevant jobs. They have lots of jobs to choose from and help you find jobs that further advance your skills. The benefits are great.

Cons

Their main employer is Microsoft, although they have found me work at other companies. Also, because they offer such a large benefit package, they take a lot off the top of your salary. Other agencies offer payroll services and little else and you make more. But I prefer the benefits because they cover both me and my partner.

Pros

Some nice intelligent educated coworkers

Cons

Lack of transperancy, job placement wages stagnant for over 5 years with no raise, after finishing multiple contracts and bringing them thousands of dollars with my labor, no follow up on new positions. Finally contacted me about one position I would be perfect for then ghosted me. Blatant ageism using words like "junior" or "great position for recent grad". Had one horrific experience with them where they reached out to me to work on a team that loved me/loved my work - when I inquired if there was any flexibility in the pay, was suddenly told I wasn't qualified. Then I see the same listing reposted as "junior" and great for a recent grad.
