Hire and Fire Culture

Recommend

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.

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
Business Outlook

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.
