- Where will I work and how much travel is involved?
The majority of our work is performed at customers' sites. Although some of these are near our NJ office, many are not and you should be prepared to live away from home in a hotel for most or all of the working week on many occasions.
It is generally possible to get home every weekend.
A willingness to travel is an important part of the job, although the actual amount of travel involved will depend on the particular projects you get assigned to.
When you are on an assignment some distance from the office, then all accommodation and subsistence costs are covered.
- How might I progress?
Your progress will be dictated by your own ability and commitment. However, Customer Systems is a company that really believes in developing its employees.
The initial aim of any new consultant should be to be recognised as a leading expert in the product is which they specialise. Beyond that there are multiple examples of people who have joined us as graduates taking resposibility for the design of significant systems within 6-12 months of joining, running projects with multiple consultants and budgets of hundreds of thousands of pounds within 1-2 years of joining, and even having sales and management responsibility for parts of our business within 2-3 years of graduating.
As an indication of our approach, every manager in the operational side of the business joined originally as a consultant and has been promoted to a managerial position.
