      Pros

      If you like the flavour of working as a CONSULTANT then you can opt. first job to start as career in australia...

      Cons

      Lack of projects and BDM have no visibility as to whats gonna come. no career assurance. if you are on bench they can send you home anytime. they will place you anywhere for any job they have with them irrespective of ur skillset of career goals.

      This is not an accurate representation of DWS. We do not send people home when on the bench we have a policy of leaving early on a Friday if you are on the bench. We certainly do not hire people if we don't need them. Danny Wallis CEO

      Pros

      Joined them as a developer. Was put on the bench. It is your duty to somehow find work while you are on the bench. You can either do some random internal company work like cleaning up their sharepoint or wait for months till a business development manager finds you a role or spend an eternity working with a BD to help you find a role with a client when there is no vacancies. They seem to hire you, pay you a salary and hope they can sell you on to a client. Sometimes they hire you in advance of contracts being signed with a client.

      Cons

      There is no job security. Your job is tied to whether their client hires you. You will do a few client consultant interviews after you join DWS. You might be lucky and have a job with a client straightaway but when I joined there were 20+ people on the bench and a few were laid off. I do not know why but its most likely they were on the bench for too long.

      Clearly this is not accurate. DWS has an extremely loyal client base. DWS bds do not ask consultants to find their own work. We do not ask people on the bench to work on internal projects because it is not a good way of getting projects completed. Generally most people are on bench less than 2 weeks. I would be interested in chatting to you. Regards Danny wallis ceo
