What do you like about working at TEKsystems?

"Recruiter is great. Gauging how well you fit into the company culture as a contractor is uncertain, because contractors are treated different from employees. Contractors are generally kept in relative isolation, but are expected to know the business in great detail."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Just ask for what type of client company you want to work for. Otherwise a technical match may not mean a business-level match."

What don't you like about working at TEKsystems?

"Since I'm a contractor, the people at the jobs they send me to expect more to be done in 40 hours than I can realistically do, and they don't allow overtime, generally. If the nature of the business the client company is in is unfamiliar or uninteresting to me, the only way to succeed is to have mentors who can train and answer business-specific questions. Client companies unfortunately never seem to have time for that."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"More training at the client companies. Don't assume technical contractors are experts in the business rules."
