Thank you for your review. DWS has very open communications with our staff through our company meetings, HR newsletter, bench catch-ups, coffee mornings, and much more; particularly during COVID and during the merger with HCL Technologies.

Good Tier 2 Consultancy

Recommend
CEO approval

Pros

Excellent training opportunities. If there is any external training that directly benefits your role - they will reimburse the cost including books and exams. Good list of clients. Good account managers overall. Super fun Christmas parties. Monthly drinks are awesome if you're into that sort of thing.

Cons

Some account managers stretch the truth about consultant capability, so you may find yourself in over your head . Some lead consultants are super protective of their clients so you may end up on the wrong end of a discussion. Some of the rules relating to being on the bench are just plain weird so you need to be aware of the rules.

Just a bodyshop

Pros

I have been working at DWS full-time for more than 4 years

Cons

As said before - just a bodyshop Not good for career growth They offer some courses, but 90% of their courses are useless rubbish They charge clients $150/hour, but pay you 35-45% of the amount. Managers pocket the difference Salary is below or an average They promise to keep you "on bench" when your contract with client is over, but in reality they offer 10-days (unless they can find another client in that period)

Thank you for your review. DWS offers Consultant-lead progression and career development - please get in contact with HR to discuss your ambitions, so we can support you to achieve your professional goals. While there is a list of pre-approved courses, you can also apply for any course you like outside of this too.
