Pros

1) Excellent training staff and facilities - I have learned more about the tech world in my first month here than I did at university 2) Excellent social culture at the office - There is a pool table in the break area, company social time on Friday afternoon with free beer, and numerous after work events in and around the offices 3) Fantastic opportunities - I am being trained to work in development at an established company in London, picking up training in new technologies and certifications that can go on my CV

Cons

I had to be geographically flexible as they will place you as and when positions become available (I was placed after 2 weeks)

Pros

Brilliant atmosphere within the whole company. Chance to work with a range of fantastic client companies including Home Office, Siemens & Lockheed Martin. Oppotunity to gain experience in a wide variety of in-demand technologies such as Pega, Mulesoft & Puppet. Honesty from management, if you're not cut out for it, need to put in the extra hours or are doing great you will be told. Perfect for graduates straight out of university to get a chance in the working world and the growing IT sector

Cons

The unpaid 3 months training is difficult to budget for but when the first payslip comes in it's all worth it and you have enough fun learning at the academy that you barely worry about it.

Pros

Fantastic training in a niche technology with paid accommodation, friendly staff and other motivated peers. Added perks include an hour-early finish for social time on Friday, free rounds at the local and the opportunity to work around the UK. A massive opportunity for any STEM graduate.

Cons

The banter at social time can be savage if you're bad at pool.

Pros

New and exciting technologies to learn. Training program is excellently written and taught perfectly by the expert staff. Within days of starting, you are made to feel like family and are looked after throughout and after training. Opportunities to consult with some huge companies in a variety of locations.

Cons

The training is unpaid, however with a guarantee of starting to get paid after 12 weeks AND a fully furnished apartment proved for you at no charge, close to the office, it is well worth the wait!

Pros

Fantastic and friendly work environment where all colleagues are actively encouraged to participate in social events both in and out of work hours. Work is a constant challenge and new technologies are taught in a realistic and accessible way. All senior Staff are delightful to work under and help both with day-to-day problems and to keep the work environment comfortable and relaxed.

Cons

Large workloads with short deadlines can appear quite quickly due to the fluidity of the training process. These are a challenge and require efficient teamwork to deliver to deadlines. 12 weeks unpaid training is manageable but preparation and budgeting is important.

Simply Incredible

Pros

NETbuilder academy is simply incredible, a place to develop team spirit, technical skills, and they value their staffs feedback. With the academy you build technical knowledge in the latest and most requested technologies from employers that will give you a huge boost in your career with skills that will set you up for life. NETbuilder treats it employees amazingly, only a few weeks ago they took employees to an all expensed weekend away to Palma, Spain. The weekend ended in at Titos (most famous nightclub in Palma) with are own private room and all the drink paid for till 6am. And to put the cherry on the cake, for the year and a half I’ve worked with NETbuilder. I’ve used my specialised training to create an incredible CV, with work experience for a number of FTSE 100 companies.

Cons

Could work anyway in the UK, so you need to be flexible. This is a good or bad thing depending on the person. For me I love seeing new places.

Pros

Paid accommodation for training, training in multiple technologies, friendly and insightful trainers, motivated working environment.. The opportunity to finish an hour early to socialize with the rest of the staff in the office is also a great plus.

Cons

If you're not good at pool it's going to be tough for you during social time.
