Pros

Friendly and young office environment, culture is unbeatable. Perks, benefits, and company swag are available to the whole company. Lots of room to advance or even ability to jump ships to other teams without repercussion. The people at the company listen to your needs and partners with you to find a point where both party can agree to.

Cons

Technology is not advanced enough Salary is not truly competitive to market value

Pros

I worked with Populus Group for 6 months full time. Populus Group is like any other Consultancy in market. They usually hire consultants on their payroll and place them through TEKSystems. Populus and TEK are sister companies and Populus is TEKSystems preferred vendor. TEKSystems has a lot clients so the chances of getting to work on various projects are decent. They can pay you good if you negotiate your salary before accepting the offer. Paycheck is on time. You get 10 days PTO. They pay you for Federal Holidays also so its a good thing. People are approachable.

Cons

Health Insurance premiums are very high. If you have a family, you end up paying $1200 a month and has direct effect on your monthly income. Even after paying so much of premium, the plan that you get is of Bronze class, in short not the best one. Out of pocket, annual deductible are soaring high (in the range of $12K/year). So think about premiums before you accept the offer and negotiate upfront so that you get good in hand even after paying premium. Otherwise everything else was ok. There will be little to no interaction with their personnel as most of the client side communication is taken care by TEKSystems even monthly reviews etc.
