Pros
Like every company, Datasource has its pain points, but their positives outweigh them. Datasource (DSC) is an excellent niche consulting company that specializes on Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence. Their leadership is headed by a gentleman that strives to find the best talent so that DSC can provide the best service. They have worked hard to build strategic partnerships with leading technology companies to secure some of the best opportunities. While most of their clients are found in the Denver, CO area, they have been working on securing clients in other areas nationwide. The office is small, but that can be easily changed. Most people are friendly and approachable, and their annual Christmas party is great as they have flown all consultants (and spouses) in to attend.
Cons
Communication is the biggest Con. The only leader that seems to want to communicate is the Steve Dine (CEO of DSC, not sure of new title under EXL). Engagement managers aren’t really talking to clients and/or taking to their consultants. Another Con is the recent purchase of DSC by EXL. This could eventually become a Pro, but only time will tell. The biggest question is how will EXL affect the way the CEO does business and how it treats their consultants.
