Pros

Rose International somehow has their foot in the door to what I'd consider the best in class companies, with the most highly sought after IT positions.

Cons

You have to visit their website and review their numerous (contract based) job postings. You will get a couple of cursory phone calls from Rose, especially once they see that you are a desirable candidate & that you're likely to land a position with one of their clients. In other words, they'll maintain contact with you when they see dollar signs for themselves. Once you get selected for a contractor position by one of their clients, do not expect to ever hear from Rose International again. Ever. To be clear, you'll have no need to hear from Rose again, so you won't miss them, but then again, that's where your paycheck comes from during the time you'll be under their contract. It will seem odd at first, but just be prepared for not getting one single phone call asking you how the position with their client is going. And, forget about benefits...they'll tell you they offer health insurance after 60-90 days. That much is true. The cost turns out to be: much higher than COBRA premiums. You'll save a tiny bit of money by just getting health insurance from the government marketplace.

Pros

Rose International was extremely insightful in bringing the right opportunities to me and preparing me for the interviews. Had it not been for them, I would have found it difficult to land my current job. I would highly recommend this company to all job seekers in the US and abroad.

Cons

I do not have any negative experience.

Pros

As a contractor, I appreciated a number of things with Rose. When I was in the running for a contract job, my contact gave me what intel he could about the company, role, hiring manager, and also practice interviewed with me. He kept me informed through the hiring phase. Once hired, I had a contact reach out for regular check-ins to see how things were going - the good and any challenges he may need to support.

Cons

As a contractor, my only MINOR frustration was onboarding. It was not structured so I found myself asking a lot of questions. It would have been nice to have a 10-15 minute call with HR or onboarding to level set on expectations (when to set up benefits and such) or an eLearning/video walkthrough of the company sites, esp. for pay and benefits. Post contract I had hoped for more support finding a next role.
