      Good bodyshop company

      Senior consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - great clients like NAB, Telstra, JetStar, AusPost, Translink, Crown Casinos, AusNet, AEMO - Can sustain a bench strength of 20-30 and some consultants can be on the bench for months (during good times) - Reimburse the cost and bonus for approved trainings - Consultants are expected to work 8hrs/ day; no more no less. - If the client office is shut down for longer than normal during Christmas break then DWS provides full salary to the consultants who come to DWS office during the period.

      Cons

      - Its a bodyshop company. Dont expect any work while on the bench. DWS will get you to the interview with clients. Since DWS does not have their own products; DWS doesnt run any programs within any company. - No work flexibility when on client assignment. The consultant has to be at client site 9am-5pm; wfh is not allowed normally. Consultants have to take full day leave even if one has personal work for an hour. - no assignments or trainings on bench - as DWS doesnt run any projects. - DWS is ruthless at firing people. Many long term employees from overseas companies leave their long-term stable employers only to get redundant during probation as they cannot clear a client interview. Or the client assignment is gone by the time the consultant has joined. - Firing is a norm even during good times - Dont expect salary hike. Can be $0 every year. - No professional growth. DWS is more than happy as long as you are billing (being a bodyshopper). You have to work on your own growth path.

      Thank you for your review, and great to see the positives you listed. Addressing some of your points; DWS offers Consultant-lead progression and career development - we will assist and support our Consultants growth in every way possible, but never force this on anyone. We have a strong training framework to facilitate personal skills and knowledge development, and suggest staff use any bench time they have to maximise this.

      Pros

      You are safe and sound as long as you are billable and if you are lucky you might get what you want.

      Cons

      The moment you are on bench you are at high risk and sooner or later you will be asked to leave. In my opinion, it's always better to work as an individual contractor than working as a sub-contractor ( i.e. full-time for DWS).

      Thank you for your review. Being on the bench with DWS does not put someone at risk of being asked to leave, in fact we actively encourage our staff to use this time to further their careers with additional studies and certifications - which DWS supports through our training framework and study completion bonuses.
