Pros

- There's pre-approved training for recognized certifications - Referral bonuses for referring professionals from your network - Bonus if certifications are completed within 6 months - Overtime is generally offered, with several caveats - Diverse range of skill sets in the organization - Reasonable work/life balance

Cons

- Forced shutdown over Christmas means you'll be required to take annual leave, even if the business (or rather the client you work for) has work for you to do - Base salary is outrageously bad. Expect to be paid around half of what the rest of the market will pay you - Management can be quite disrespectful - They still count the minutes you work. Expect a passive-aggressive email from finance if you don't complete your timesheets on time. - Overtime has too many restrictions and hoops to jump through. Even after you're eligible and it was approved, they'll try to drag out the process to avoid paying you - High staff turnover. Expect to receive weekly 'farewell' emails from staff leaving the organization - The business is generally not interested in any form of innovation

Thank you for the 4-star review, however it would seem you have the wrong company. DWS is an Australian IT consultancy, do not have a 'Director of Finance' role, and have no staff in the USA.
