Hey, My friend got an offer from a retail company to start as a junior data engineer in CA, but he will be starting as a contractor under TEKsystems. Is this a common practice? How likely is to get a return offer after the initial contract? Do they test for weed? If yes, how does that even work in CAny other opinions? How would the benefits look like? The most scary outcome is he will be unemployed after the initial 6 months. Would he at least get an extension if not a conversion at the end? #data #teksystems #contractor #weed #test
TEKsystems is a good staffing company.. if you’re employed with them, they can place you anywhere.. plus they can get you projects in the same location(if that’s the constraint).. they’re pretty chill with conversions as well.. sometimes if the headcount is more conversion happens in 6 months.. else it can take a year.. benefits are nice and they give great SWAG and seasonal gifts.. Only downside being they don’t sponsor visas though..
