Just wondering if anyone here has had any experience with these guys?

Thinking of applying, I know you get shafted in the first two years with regards to the salary but it's a good way to get your foot into the door with the banks..

What do you guys think? Does it seem like a good route to go down? I'm thinking of an Analyst role and I will soon have a BSc in Computer Science from KCL.

;)
 
Bumping this thread to see if anyone has had any personal experience of this company.

Some people seem to think its a dodgy company and a scam, while others say its quite legit. I've just graduated with an IT degree, and have a lot of prior work experience in telecomms as a field technician, and am wondering if this company is worth a punt - my instinct at the moment is to be very cautious about them...
 
My mate used these guys, ended up with a decent job and salary while working for them, and now works for HSBC head office. He didn't seem to have many bad things to say.
 
A friend of mine who is also a forum member here worked for them. I will tell him about this thread :)
 
Surely if you go to KCL you can use the careers service provided by them and ULU to help you get onto a good grad scheme?
 
Told him. I considered applying for them but couldn't as I could not afford to live without a wage for 6 months. It seemed a very good set up, once you have done the two years and got a contract - you will have good experience and a nice wage. Just make sure if you want to do it, don't change your mind/get fired during the first 6 months as I think you are liable to pay them quite a bit of money for the trouble.
