Pros

Good package at the start.

Cons

1. They don’t provide employer funded parental leave. Which all other consultancy companies I’ve previously worked for and currently working with provide. 2. The Melbourne HR doesn’t not follow fair work rules and tries to get you to apply for leaves on bench. Otherwise also very manipulative and tries to show that you are being petty if you do not agree with them. 3. They don’t care about you once you are at the client site. You feel like an independent contractor at the client site. 4. Constant fear on unemployment when on bench. 5. There are no bonuses or yearly salary increments. 6. The annual review is just a formality, you never hear back from them (how would they know anything when they forget you once you are at the client’s office ) 7. The ceo packed his bags quickly when hack bought the company and the communication to employees was very poor. The weekly meetings were redundant and lacked and real information. 8. No real opportunity to grow within the company (very craft paperwork and drawings but nothing is actually applied or applicable to you when you join) 9. The policy pack is a joke and is just a random PDF on the internal website. No details provided unless you ask HR.

Thank you for your review. DWS absolutely does cares about each and every employee - the high number of very long term staff, plus the significant number of staff who return to us after exploring other career avenues, is testament to this.

Thank you for the 4-star review, however it would seem you have the wrong company. DWS is an Australian IT consultancy, do not have a 'Director of Finance' role, and have no staff in the USA.
