Pros

You can make a lot of money, it is stable, you work with good people, and you get great experience and will learn a lot

Cons

Not great work life balance, cult type culture where hanging out on the weekends with coworkers is expected, the work can be monotonous and exhausting at times. Make sure to read reviews from formal employees (recruiters/sales) rather than contractors through Fortitude if you want to work here

Pros

people, location, atmosphere, friends automatically in new city, young environment

Cons

have to move away no matter what, cult, people advance in other locations faster based off need and not on performance, leaders dictate when you move up and down but make it seem like you will be in sales in 6 months no matter what, micromanaged, in office 5 days, working 50 hours, as of recently they let you have a beard now, don't make commission till 6 months in and still isn't very great, jus a lot of promises and people in your ear like a coach telling you your going to be a starter but instead keeping you on the team riding the bench and taking your money :) many other places to start your career, also you don't realize how good other companies are until you are out of the environment, even when they tell you otherwise !!!!

Pros

*Note: I do NOT work for Fortitude. They are a staffing company that helped me interview for and secure a software engineering job at a different company. - Dedicated people who care about getting you hired - Regular check-ins during the application process - Always available and happy to answer questions I am a software engineer who took a 3-year career break due to personal issues. When I was ready to get back into the industry, I spent 6 months or so applying everywhere I could, to no avail. Fortitude reached out to me with a position they thought I'd be a good fit for. I went through the interview process and eventually got hired at a great company where I've now been working for three months or so. It's really an excellent job: good pay, good benefits, good work, and a great team. Without Fortitude, in this job market, I'd probably still be looking for a position. They gave me the opportunity to actually get interviewed by a serious company. I'm not saying they did everything -- I still had to nail the interview and prove my technical abilities. But they at least got me a real opportunity to get my career back on track. For that, I'm forever grateful.

Cons

It's a bit tough to go through a hiring process through a staffing company; there are two parties (Fortitude and the company you're interviewing with) to manage and keep updated and keep in sync with everything. I get it, since they need to be involved the entire time to ensure everything goes by-the-book and that they get paid for the candidate placement. But it adds a little friction to the whole process and makes it take perhaps a bit longer than it otherwise would. Overall, for everything they provide (interviewing guidance, communication, background logistics, relationships with companies), it's well worth it. Also, as I understand it, for most jobs you get through Fortitude, you will be on a 6-month contract working through Fortitude until the company decides to take you on full-time. This means you'll be on Fortitude health insurance, get paychecks from Fortitude, and have to deal with this extra set of logistics for the first 6 months, at which point you'll be transferred over to your actual company's payroll systems. But, again, if you get a job you like, not a big problem.
