Thank you for taking the time to share your honest and thoughtful feedback. Although we are disappointed to hear of your negative experiences, we are encouraged by your kind words and points of improvement. Here at Brooksource , we strive to break the stigmas associated with our industry by using a relationship-focused approach to managing our consultants. This includes providing our consultants with six recognized holidays, the hosting of culture-building events, access to medical benefits, and even the ability to participate in our 401(k) program. However, as you mentioned, we still need to be better at sharing the testimonials and success stories of our consultants on our social media. We appreciate your insights and will use them to better target our consultant experience efforts moving forward. If you have any additional feedback or suggested improvements, please email us at success@eightelevengroup.com as we are always trying to better ourselves and the experiences we offer.

Pros

Provides entry into the field via big name clients, where it's then a tossup if you'll love/hate your day to day.

Cons

Pays below market rate for software roles. Very few benefits. Lies to you about contract-to-hire situations. Not transparent. Quite cutthroat. Oblivious to how much they think they provide value to developers. Thinks they're doing such life changing work. Completely neglectful of how exploitative they are.
