Pros
The other consultants are great. Met a lot of good people. Clients are good too. Enjoyed doing work for high end Australian clientelle. Gained some good experience in the consulting industry.
Cons
Low pay for the level and complexity of coding work. Management do not seem to be sufficiently skilled in working with neurodiverse individuals. Established staff members that I had good working relationships with and who contributed to a high quality and disability inclusive workplace had a high turnover from the company. Very high turnover of junior staff. High pressure to gain clients. No overtime pay. When I asked for adjustments to be made by management to suit my working style as part of my autism I was told that my requests were unreasonable even though what I was asking for was written in my consultant profile given to each client I had worked with. Lack of understanding of neurodiversity seemed to be only on the auticon management side in my experience which I found extremely strange for a company with a 100% formally diagnosed autism core workforce.
