Pros

Relativly high wages, you get 60% of what you take in minus employee expenses. So if you charge your customer 1000 NOK an hour, you take home aprox 600 NOK before Tax. That gets you around 1 MNOK a year if you work full time. Very friendly workplace, they really work with you on what you want to do. You feel listened too. If you want to do something else, change field they will work with you. Two trips a year, where your partner and kids can come with you. Also, summer and Winter dinners at fancy restaurants. Any course or certifications you like, Webstep pays for it. Any phone or PC you like, you get. Great amount of flexibility of your working hours. If you want to take 4 month vacation, that's fine. Just talk to your customer and your manager and make it happen. Two salary models, one where you keep 60% (minus expenses) of what you make with no base salary and one with a base salary of aprox 40k NOK a month but they you only keep 58% of your billable salary.

Cons

If you choose the salary model with no base salary, then when you don't work you don't get paid. I think there is too little difference between the two salary models (2%). Even though Webstep pays for your courses, it's on your dime. So you need to take time off from your client (i.e. you are not getting paid) and take those courses. The sales team doesn't feel super urgent to get you into a client. They are very friendly but they don't really stress too much if you don't have a client. If you don't have a client, that doesn't cost Webstep anything (they don't get their cut...I guess) but there isin't really the urgency to sell you that other consulting companies have since if you don't have a client, you are costing them money. In Webstep, if you don't have a client, they don't really suffer.

Pros

- courses and training - you may be lucky with good project - very nice colleagues

Cons

- courses and training is in the evenings or weekends, off-line = meaning you pay for that with your private and family time - no pay for doctor appointment time, also with kids - no help if you face challenges at the project - no help if you are in conflict with someone - if you want to change project, you have to find new project yourself - if you are on a bench, you find new project yourself - salary is same as in-house, but all consulting risks are there
