Customer Systems Reviews

I joined as a graduate with basically no IT or consulting skills. By the time I left Customer Systems a few years later, my prospects had changed hugely. I learned an unbelievable amount, both in technical and non-technical areas. I was paid very well and my career progression was accelerated in comparison to those working for bigger companies. At the time, I probably didn't realise how much I was getting out of my employment, but with hindsight, it was a fantastic place to start a career. Working for a profitable company is a good thing and the MD knows how to make a profit. This is important and often overlooked.

I was a foreign student from a good school and good GPA, but not much luck with the 'bigger guys'. It was Customer Systems that took a chance on me, and helped me find my passion with a career that I still enjoy to this day, 10 years later. Customer Systems is a 'job on steroids', within months, you develop true deep expertise; and that's not just a company slogan, your expertise gets validated everytime you visit clients and see how you compare against others. I can speak for 'my generation', we all had stories of beating Oracle at their own game. We all had a strong 'can do' spirit that CS instilled in us, and we had so much fun at our clients sides In the span of 6 years I worked at over 18 clients in six industry sectors. I started with Siebel CRM, but CS recognized that I enjoy reports too, so they helped me develop expertise in OBIEE. Not a single dull moment The hiring salary was low, yes, but within two years I was making more money than my friends who started at the same time, and the gap continued to grow. Added bonus: Being a foreigner, it was Customer Systems that sponsored my green card application so that I don't have to worry about visas. I left CS as I decided I need to slow down on the travel side and spend more time with family and friends. I wish everyone at CS the best !
