Employee insights

Miles: “With OCS Consulting the most important skill you need to have in a role as SAS Administrator is perseverance. Some problems are very persistent and require many hours of reading and researching. But interpersonal and social skills are also essential. You need to be able to interact with people. Sometimes you get a call and the client is quite stressed, then you need to be able to diffuse the situation and get to the heart of the problem. You may also make a new friend, which is always nice.”

Rocco: De belangrijkste vaardigheden die je als IT Consultant bij OCS Consulting moet hebben zijn flexibiliteit en zelfstandigheid. Omdat je vaak moet schakelen tussen verschillende organisaties en rollen binnen deze organisaties. Ook is het de taak van de consultant om de verantwoording op zich te nemen over het project waarin hij actief is. Dit maakt het boeiend voor mij.”
