Pros

Excellent culture, challenging work, best of breed technology focus. I felt compelled to write a review this morning. My ten year anniversary is coming soon and I don't have any regrets for leaving a stable fortune 500 company job to come work for SWC. The things that drive me to succeed are smart people, interesting problems to solve, and work variety. SWC provided all those things I was looking for and compensates me fairly for doing so. Some people gripe about the time tracking and the personal time needed for skills development. This is a technology company that has one product, time. Because time is finite and perishes every hour, it has to be tracked and accounted for in a reasonable fashion. Learning and education never stop in our industry. If you follow the news you know that technology is changing at a breakneck pace. This means everyone is responsible for managing their skills to ensure we provide our customers with expert guidance and best of breed solutions. The SWC work life balance has its ebbs and flows but I always feel that I'm the one with my foot on the gas or brake and not my boss or the company. If you are a motivated individual and you are driven to succeed and improve (sometimes from mistakes that SWC helps you work through) you will have an excellent career here at SWC!

Cons

The company color is still orange. I happily await the day they switch to green or purple! As SWC gets bigger, its become harder to know every face, name and what everyone is doing.

Pros

Consultants were not overworked, and people are generally staying in their own lane. Strong knowlegeable teammates and lots of internal resources to grow. Work life balance was good.

Cons

I left during a time of transition, since the top practice director retired and the EBA leader took over as interim leader. This interim guy seemed to be waiting for something to take any action with current resources, and he was not too interested in rallying or figuring things out as a team. If he had expectations, they were never communicated to me. The lack of clarity was very challenging for me personally, and it came off as a lack of support. I think others in the team probably feel similarly.
