Anybody have any insights on a firm called TekSystems? Brother-in-law is getting out of military and looking to apply there. I've never heard of them or worked with them, so told him I'd ask here. Thanks in advance!

Ive seen them work with other clients of mine. They do a lot of tech staff Aug

It’s a decent contracting shop / staffing firm. You could do a lot worse and they make an honest effort to staff people, but if there’s no contract there is no work.

This is assuming they are interviewing for a contract role facilitated by Teksystems. If you’re working directly for them it’s a decent company and you’ll have more stability.

Lots of companies use them for staff augmentation,/ tech staffing, my view is that it is a good company for short and long term staffing around common technologies such as PowerBI dev, sys or db admins, I think they will even train their people - your brother in law may not have much of a choice where he gets staffed though, but neither do we in Consulting.
I think some companies will do arrangements to contract to hire., where the resource will go through TekSystems for a period of time and if the client loves the resource, they will hire.

Very little exposure here but my impression was not bad. If he's got a few months left he should really try for a skillbridge like the corporate fellowship program or work with the honor foundation (if SOF).

Staff aug / contracting shop. I’ve hired a couple people from there to subcontract roles with specific skills / price point. Completely fine as a starting point but I think he’ll still need to go on client interviews and get locked to a client before he works/gets paid.

They’ve been great as a staff aug / contracting services. Team seems really knowledgeable and they’ve been great at ensuring any staff would be a good fit.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
