Once the client is gone , you will be thrown in dust bin

Pros

They will hire you at high rate initially, as they know, they will keep you only for a short project , they just got.

Cons

Managers are egoistic. Your appreciation from client, hardwork, nothing matters. If manager is egoistic or if client lays off employees, or project is over for which they just hired you (on permanent role), they will never retain you. Body shop. They are used to hire people as permanent employees and then throw them after 1-6 months. They will ask you to work for 12-15 hours, without additional pay. Many of my friends and colleagues told same story. Never ever join them.

Thank you for the review, though it seems you have the wrong company you are reviewing. DWS does not hire staff for specific projects as we take a long-term career view with our staff, and most of our clients we have worked with for many decades. The Consultants who join us are hired for their strong skills in their chosen job family, not a match to an individual client - and as a result, we can easily reengage them on other projects quickly and effectively.

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.

Pros

A permanent role is just the pros of this company, other mentioned points in job ads are just for marketing!

Cons

Lack of professional behaviour in managers, their flat org chart makes a lot of problems for consultants.
