A betrayal to those with a technical background - Analyst Wavestone Employee Review

Wavestone will lure you in pretending to be a competent firm by spewing out a bunch of technical words which most of the employees don’t even understand themselves The recruitment process lacks any meaningful information on your future role and the majority of recruits are left hanging on the side wondering what their job entails. The vagueness of the recruitment process is admittedly exciting at first as your mind explores all the possible ideas of what your day to day responsibilities might look like only to get ultimately let down by the fact you’ll either be sat on the side helping other employees with their work (none of which is relevant to your “job title”) or churning out PowerPoint slides. The onboarding process is pathetic to say the least. No mention of what your responsibilities are, you are pretty much on your own from day one. Eventually you do get a vague idea of what your future tasks might look like but good luck getting a project assigned to you; you’ll most likely be sitting on the side for the first two months. Remember that waiver you signed which made you opt out of the 40 hour work week? That comes into play once you’re assigned a project. Prepare yourself for the agonising “death by PowerPoints” as well as a sudden dramatic change in your working routine which will ultimately stress you out. Bravo to those who’ve lasted longer than a year.
