Pros

In most cases, your job is safe for as long as you want it. There’s a lot of courses available, but be sure to do your research first, as a lot of them become outdated quicker than the company can update their course list. The company has a large client base, so there’s plenty of choice for industries to work it. It’ll certainly look great on the C.V.

Cons

Poor culture, especially in the head office. It’s overly political and bureaucratic. Asking for advice, or even simply questions is often met with extreme resistance.

Pros

As a consultant, I have to appreciate the notable dedication of the team to provide consultancy services to premier clients by trying their best to ensure that experience and skills meet demand. You get opportunities to work with multitude of industries and corporate clients, including very supportive DWS consultants. Among the many highlights, I have observed that DWS HR truly adheres to their values of integrity, honesty and transparency in their interactions. In my personal experience, despite odd circumstances, they have complied to all my employment agreements for which I am obliged to DWS. While providing support and guidance, DWS HR also expects high standards in all work aspects including grooming and your effectiveness as an influential consultant. Excellent support from IT and Payroll also. It is also commendable that DWS has a unique training framework which supports and funds a wide range of courses and certifications for their employee's choice. Upskilling - What more than you can expect!

Cons

If consulting is your area of interest, can't really see any cons. Be prepared to be flexible and dynamic in your work and you will hit the ground running.
