Fantastic Career Opportunity

Pros

NETbuilder will go the extra mile to invest in you, building your skills and knowledge by taking you through a training scheme that exposes you to niche technologies and improves core soft skills. The office has a friendly, fun atmosphere where you can always blow off steam with a game of pool after a hard day of work, and the staff are always there to help and support one another. It's challenging, but very rewarding and interesting work. I can't imagine a job I would enjoy more.

Cons

Intensive work - however it is well worth putting in the extra effort, just be careful managing your work/life balance

Pros

Good working atmosphere with a focus on teamwork and self improvement. Good balance between work and play. Pool table in lounge. Regular social activities. Training in leading technologies.

Cons

Need geographical flexibility and no choice in the technology you train in, this wasn't a problem for me but for some it may be a problem.

Pros

The training is very good and you can be taught in a range of different technologies that will allow you to go onto a client site and show off your skills. Once you start the training scheme you are instantly thrown into different situations that may occur when you are out there working, they give you training into the business side of things helping you to understand some certain business aspects you may need to know when going into a working environment.

Cons

You must be geographically flexible and while this wasn't a problem for me I realise that other people might not feel the same way. Fast paced training, which might be difficult for some people to keep up but putting in the extra effort and hard is worth it.

Pros

Recently moved with the academy to the new offices at MediaCityUK in Manchester. Offices are bright and open plan, creating a productive working environment. There's also a pool table. The training is fast paced and intense, The structure is manageable and the topics are interesting. The technologies that are offered are in high demand so it's good to know that the skills we are developing, we will be able to use throughout our careers.

Cons

Very fast paced and intense but it's worth putting in the time and effort as it will all be worth it.

Pros

Initial training course is very useful making sure that the employee is confident not only in IT industry, but Business environment as well. Lots of out of working activities keep everybody involved: we have quiz nights, pool competitions, random pub visits, football matches, etc. Lots of work involved from the trainers to make sure we get all the information, we constantly have tests and catch up sessions. For niche technologies, we all get industry acknowledged certifications after passing the exam. Apartments available whilst you are training are very high standard in the Heart of Media City. Great networking opportunities with consultants based with many different clients.

Cons

Very intense training, however everything is possible if you put your heart to it. More information should be provided of what's happening in the company besides the academy.

Pros

- Improve Technical Skills - Improve Business / Professional Skills - Improve Social / Networking Skills After the training course you will not only gain experience in a new technology (possible gain industry acknowledged certification) but also gain insight into the business analysis skills needed to be an IT Consultant. You are provided with a nice apartment to stay in while you’re training less than 10 minute walk away from the academy office in the Heart of Media City. (Wi-Fi, Washer/Dryer, Dish Washer, Electric Cooker, Microwave, Fridge/Freezer… Everything you need really…) There are many out of work activities and events to get to know your colleagues: pub visits, quiz nights, pool competitions, football matches, etc.

Cons

Training can be quite intense but is definitely manageable The technology you go into is based on what is available so you do need to keep an open mind

Pros

The opportunity to train in new and market leading technologies combined with the great atmosphere around the office makes it really enjoyable working for NETbuilder. The staff are really friendly and helpful, plus the things you learn whilst there will helped me to grow not only technically but as a person as well.

Cons

The training is very intensive and finding the right work/life balance can be quite a challenge, it is definitely worth it though.

Pros

The courses are far more engaging than most of my lectures at university, the atmosphere is very relaxed and the trainers are genuinely friendly and helpful. The role is a fantastic start for graduates, the training is in relevant technologies currently on demand, and you get to experience several technologies and work on different projects.

Cons

Unpaid training, plan a budget for 12 weeks, and you should be fine. Training can be quite intensive at times, you get to cover a lot of content really fast.
