Rapid route to success
Pros
Since working for NETbuilder, I have managed to build and work for an impressive and comprehensive spread of companies. In just over two years I have managed to work on projects for governments and major financial institutions. For me the key was the recognition that the management team gave to members of staff that pushed themselves, resulting in them rising rapidly within the company. The people that didn't have the ability didn't last long. This was a great start to my career, my time as a gateway consultant resulted in receiving multiple job offers. Ultimately I opted to take a senior management role within NETbuilder in the hope that my career will carry on with the same momentum.
Cons
The offices are not the best, little natural light, however once training is completed most of the work of the placements are off site and some of the buildings make me quite jealous I will not be working there instead. Since taking on my role as consulting manager, we have swapped over the training to rooms with more natural light. The training was hard as it is a mixture of classroom and self-learning and that isn't for everyone, taking the initiative was key. It is a steep learning curve, but nobody who has managed to complete the two years has regretted where it has got them to.
