Pros

TEKsystems staff are courteous and friendly. They are available to help resolve issues and are flexible and supportive. They provide basic feedback about your job performance from client managers and pass along praise when warranted. TEKsystems interview process is thorough and professional. They are proactive at attempting to find a good fit for your skills and experience.

Cons

While TEKsystems seems to handle the basics of staff augmentation well, they do not reflect the flexibility required to market consultants in the higher pay range. They have a one size fits all model that fails to match more sophisticated skill sets to appropriate positions. There is a principal consultant program that offers some minimal rewards to consultants who bring in additional work. The program is poorly structured and the return offered to consultants does not make it worth while to invest much time in it.

Pros

- Decent pay to start. - Account manager is responsive, engaging, and a serious advocate for you and your contract. - Gain access to Udemy Business to build more skills.

Cons

- The benefits suck. - High recruiter turnover with highly variable experience trying to work with them-- some are good, most are not. - Once you are placed, you will be promised regular meetings and then never hear from the recruiter again. - Trying to find a new contract if you are unhappy with your current placement is nearly impossible and I don't believe they are incentivized to help you move at all. - You have to manually request a raise and depending on how you negotiated your contract, you may or may not have the ability to receive one. - There is a cap to how much they will pay you for the contract so even if you work that position 4 years, once you hit that cap you are stuck. I originally submitted my resume with TekSystems when I had finished my degree and never heard back. Many years later, I was approached on LinkedIn by a TekSystems recruiter for a position and he had no idea I was in the system previously. Working with him was good, and I did get the position. Then I never heard from him again and I've had 4 or 5 different recruiters whose names I could not tell you if I tried since then. There's supposed to be monthly calls, they never happen.
