I worked with Teksystems here in Austin for a few months.
They are an obnoxiously dishonest company.
I'm not too worried about most of you having to deal with them because the opportunities they have seem to be very limited, but beware. Tek only views its contractors as income streams, so they are very good at telling you want you want to hear but not delivering.

I started a 6 month contract to hire with teksystems about a year ago. Kept getting the run around about not being hired. I have never seen tek offer a direct to hire position, and it isn't in their best interest to get you off their payroll and into a real job. The longer you contract through them the more you pad their pockets. I sincerely believe they negotiate their pricing and offer incentives to keep a person on a contract basis. My heartfelt advice to anyone out there that is considering one of these contract to hire positions is. Don't actually expect to be hired your best course of action is if you don't currently have a job take it and look for a perm position, unless your just wanting to get some experience in the field. Just my personal feelings and experience dealing with tek if they don't honor a written contract definately don't believe what they say and avoid them unless you are in desperate need of a job

Right now, every Tom, Dick, Harry, Rachael, Sue, Julie, Sarat, and Amir on planet Earth is trying to make a fast buck by being a temporary employer of some kind, yet the only real difference between each and every one of you is the amount of sales puff you can blow up an employer’s behind with the standard ‘WE ARE THE BEST†sales hype or the amount of payola that is paid to an employer to get a signed contract. Most of you lie, cheat, and steal on a regular basis to achieve your sales goals and maximize your cut of your secret billable rate. You also scour the resumes you receive for applicant placement and the help-wanted ads placed by employers to find new prey. Using resumes for marketing and sales is pretexting, which is getting private information about an individual under false pretenses, is wrong.

Problem: I was offered a contract job w/TEK, they wanted me to start the following Wednesday, didn't happen. Point being, my hiring date has been put off 3 times. Anyone come across this problem? I have no drug/background issues. But they did tell me since I've been married, my name changes have caused a delay in my background check. Does that sound legite? Other temp agencies got it done within 3-4 days.

Hi consultants,
Could you please suggest me how to get the payment from a vendor. This guy is holding part of the payments saying that the client didnt paid. I know that the client paid.
Can I contact client directly. Am I supposed to do that.
Thank you

What do you think -- is this company going to survive and thrive? Are they looking to expand their staff, or do you think layoffs are inevitable?

Every business has it's own style. What is the office environment and culture like at TEKsystems?
Are people dressed in business casual, jeans and t-shirts, or full-on suits? Do folks get together for Friday happy hours and friendly get-togethers?
What is a typical day in the life of an employee at TEKsystems?

I'm looking around a few companies to find a position and one main concern i have is what kind of benefits they offer. I'm sure the higher you get the better the plan is, but i was just hoping someone who actually worked for any of them would be able to help me find out what their benefits plan actually are. I'm especially concerned because i have a wife with a child on the way.

I am considering taking a position at teksystems as a recruiter. I was wondering if there is anyone here who has had experience with this position and could possibly provide some insight into the position. I really just wanted to know what a typical day consists of.

TEKsystems only sought me out after they felt they had a job opportunity that matched my skills. I met with them, went on my interviews and waahla! I got the offer!
