Billable hours, as the business unit operates as its own profit loss center. Consulting is strictly post sales design, implementation and onboarding - moving from customer project to customer project. Large amount of technical and consultative duties. Working for an IT solutions company with an inhouse product, streamlines delivery and support drastically.

Day-to-day responsibilities changes depending on what you're working on which is what I love in comparison to doing the same thing day in and day out. We work on documentation in preparation for projects, have customer or internal meetings, implement VMware products, etc.

    • No clear central documentation on internal processes

    • The not-so-great thing about working at my company is that you have to be proactive in asking questions and asking for help because you are expected to track yourself.
