Constant changes in IT bode well for contractors

Business systems consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Some skills can not be outsourced, so those lucky enough to be in management support positions, key technical and development areas and/or work in the Scottsdale location are "safe". Constant realignment, system upgrades and mergers also help to keep the body count of contractors high.

Cons

Maintenance skills can easily be outsourced to India. They are trying, but haven't quite been successful in using off-shore talent for the bulk of project staff. FTEs are like tenured professors in that even if they are incompetent, you still need to work (& sometimes be supervised) by those less knowledgeable.

When I was there, management made a great impression on me... they are the only company ever to do so.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great management. They made me feel accomplished constantly. They were supportive, positive, and took the time to allow me to experiment and develop new ways of doing things. Compensation is blah, but it made me feel good to work there.

Cons

Compensation was blah for me, but I was just a part time worker and what they gave me was pretty competitive. At the time I was just a cog in a wheel of a processing machine and the work wasn't all that creative.
