Pros

They may have some actual relationships with financial institutions in the New York Metropolitan area.

Cons

There are not enough jobs for all of the people that they are recruiting. You will be stuck earning minimum wage until you are placed with a client at that point your 2-year contract begins to tick down. There is no job board for you to see which jobs account managers are recruiting for. Pays minimum wage during your entire training period. Account managers are not any more responsive than the tech recruiters calling you already. Only provides $1,000 + $2,000 to reimburse you for your moving costs, so if you need to break your lease contract you are out of luck. They do not provide any mentoring or additional advice on your career. Does not fulfill its promise to provide professional-level training on actual BI tools Power BI, Tableau, QlikView, Python, Alteryx.

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.
