Pros
- Good exposure to new roles and responsibilities that you might otherwise not have access to out in the job market without previous experience. Makes for good professional development and expanding skills.
- I was given the opportunity to lead teams and deliver in roles which gave me greater exposure to the financial services industry where I learned transferrable skills which made me more marketable.
- I met a lot of great and interesting people at Delta Capita and also met a lot of people working with our clients. So it's a good place to network.
- I felt my compensation was fair.
Cons
- Like other reviews have stated, the company works more like a staffing agency.
Instability - On the consulting side, Delta Capita has a small footprint in NYC and doesn't have many long-term clients and projects. It is typical to be hired for a specific role on a project that is contracted for X number of months, but if that contract is not renewed you will be on "the bench" while Delta Capita searches for the next project to get you on which can be a wide range of roles including something completely different than what you were brought on for (not necessarily a con because here is where you can get new skills). But if you are stuck on the bench too long with no prospects upcoming you become an aging resource, and next thing you know they will cut you loose. You'll notice people getting cut multiple times throughout the year - some of course because of performance, but others are perfectly good consultants being let go because the firm can't find new business and can't afford to keep people on payroll.
I personally was let go a month before going on Paternity leave. I had all good reviews and had great rapport with coworkers and management, but I was on the bench after the completion of a project and eventually, they cut me. Just sharing that as a testament that they don't hesitate to let people go.
