Pros

Interesting jobs. Apart from that not much else.

Cons

Chances of a pay rise close to zero. Will sell you out to anyone for a dollar. Management don't care where you work, for who, or what you work on, even if its a bad career move. They have no loyalty to their employees. The first hint of a downturn and they will sack people. Before Christmas 2018, 10 employees were sacked, mainly project managers, then after Christmas (2 months later) they were asking employees on the bench if they knew any project managers that wanted a job. DWS is more like a sham employment scheme than a proper company. If you aren't highly skilled and highly employable, do not work for this company.

I'm glad you found your job interesting. DWS provides annual pay raises based on performance. While we understand that not getting a pay rise can be very disappointing, we encourage you to reach out to our HR team for guidance and feedback. Furthermore, we care about our employees and try our best to align projects to their career ambitions. However, working for a consultancy means that sometimes you have to work on clients and projects you may not like.

Thank you for the 4-star review, however it would seem you have the wrong company. DWS is an Australian IT consultancy, do not have a 'Director of Finance' role, and have no staff in the USA.
