Pros

- IT training - free coffee

Cons

I don't know where to start: - before starting we were told that we would get £100 a week during our initial training period to cover travel expenses. After starting the training , me along with the other trainees were surprised to find out that they do not actually pay anything! they would only pay if you show them travel receipts, and they would only pay you a maximum of £25 every two weeks ! - Prior to the start of the training programme, I was told that they work with clients from various sectors and that there are a lot of opportunities. The reality is that 80 % of their clients are in the financial sector and most of the placements last for a few months. At least that is how the situation was in the Academy where I was. - During the training you are expected to just follow what they tell you to do. If you struggle with something then you would need to rely on yourself or on fellow trainees -£20 000 has to be paid to them, if you decide to leave the programme before the end of your two year contract. They say that they would make exceptions if you have special circumstances, but at the same time they say that they would treat it "case by case". - Not all training paths that they said they offer were actually offered. Me and my colleges had to chose between two paths that were offered at that time. The way they work is based on client demand.

Pros

Training contents are much more refined to the industry you want to work in. Training materials and some of the trainers are quite good and approachable

Cons

The sales team is a nightmare, treats consultants like a toy, does not care about what sort of roles the consultant wants, the account managers are unqualified and has no idea what they are doing, will start hating you if you dont get placed, after 3 interviews, start spreading rumours to hide their lack of experience and put you in the dark and potentially ruin your career. the contract they have in place is a disaster for a graduate and agreeing to that is like signing your death certificate. Stay out of this company, keep trying to get a job on your own.
