Pros

Good salary grade depending on your experience - from anywhere around the world.

Cons

1. Fire you in 1 day notice - i was given 1 hour on my last day at work on a friday Does not inform client on why and when they fire you - impacting the project. 2. Lack of respect among the customers as they have a prejudice against DWS consultant - wonder why? Pls refer to above reason. 3. Introverts beware - you wont have any space or respect from the management or Senior consultants. 4. No Company values are adhered by the management, the values are just there to sell their business

Pros

The company culture is inclusive, fun, social and hard working. You're valued as an important part of the team and have the freedom to express your opinions and come forward with ideas or innovative ways to deliver results. Hard work and professional achievements of various kinds are actively recognised and usually rewarded.

Cons

Brand awareness isn't great beyond people who already know DWS in some way or another. As there is no dedicated Marketing team, work to resolve this is a bit slow going. But it is going!

Thank you very much for your 5-star review. DWS has generally allowed our outstanding work for clients to speak for itself, and its thanks to our amazing consultant base that this is the case.

Pros

Joined them as a developer. Was put on the bench. It is your duty to somehow find work while you are on the bench. You can either do some random internal company work like cleaning up their sharepoint or wait for months till a business development manager finds you a role or spend an eternity working with a BD to help you find a role with a client when there is no vacancies. They seem to hire you, pay you a salary and hope they can sell you on to a client. Sometimes they hire you in advance of contracts being signed with a client.

Cons

There is no job security. Your job is tied to whether their client hires you. You will do a few client consultant interviews after you join DWS. You might be lucky and have a job with a client straightaway but when I joined there were 20+ people on the bench and a few were laid off. I do not know why but its most likely they were on the bench for too long.

Clearly this is not accurate. DWS has an extremely loyal client base. DWS bds do not ask consultants to find their own work. We do not ask people on the bench to work on internal projects because it is not a good way of getting projects completed. Generally most people are on bench less than 2 weeks. I would be interested in chatting to you. Regards Danny wallis ceo
