      Promises, waiting, promises, waiting, nothing

      Consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good salary Government support involves little to no work. Great if you want an easy ride and to learn next to nothing.

      Cons

      Promotions 100% based on who you know, not what you know. Ops are useless.

      Good technology too many inexperienced new graduates

      Technical lead

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good technology and good client list so great opportunity to add experience to your c.v.

      Cons

      Trying to be more profitable by employing low paid fresh grads with no experience which is a drain on experienced staff constantly providing support.

      Bright people, challenging work

      Consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      * The people you work with are generally young, bright and enthusiastic * The work is challenging - Detica works on the theory that the people they hire are smart enough to cope and work things out so they tend to throw you in the deep end, fine if you don't mind a challenge * Detica is top of their class in the things that they do well

      Cons

      * There are some things that Detica simply don't do well but they'll try them out for a while * This is not a management consultancy, it's a technical consultancy. As long as you're technical you'll enjoy it * The merger has caused some admin issues in the US offices that didn't really reasonate back to the head office in the UK for a while. Things are definitely improving, but it's still not the slickest beast!
