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.
