2. Please give us a brief description of what you
look for in a good Consultant.
We look for people who enjoy
problem solving, finding creative
solutions to customer problems,
working in a project environment;
someone with leadership qualities
who enjoys the fast pace of
consulting and moving from
project to project as necessary.

3. Give us a brief overview of what the day to day is
like for a member of your team.
Day to day responsibilities include following
our structured implementation methodology.
This includes stages of Analysis, Design,
Development and Deployment. At every
stage, we work closely with our customers to
produce project deliverables. Throughout the
course of the project, we are training,
observing, listening, documenting, working
on a creative solution to an existing customer
problem, managing project tasks and
documenting findings, results or action
items.

4. What’s the culture like within the team
and department?
Nothing but the best! MCA Connect’s culture
is one of a cohesive team, working towards a
common goal. It is common to see
consultants helping one another and working
together to find the best possible solution for
our customers. While we may be physically
separated from one another, project teams
often create lasting bonds that go beyond the
last project. Team members stay connected
and continue to help one another even after
they are separated and have moved on to
other projects.

5. Career Development Opportunities?
Company/Group opportunities?
The delivery organization has many exciting
roles from associate consultants with little to
no experience, to senior consultants and
architects with a lot of real world and deep
functional or technical knowledge. Whether
you are functionally or technically inclined,
MCA Connect has a spot waiting for you!

6. What is your management style like?
I realize that in this industry, I am
working with professionals, most of
whom are self-motivated and take
responsibility for their assigned tasks.
The nature of being a consultant
demands that. I work with consultants
to improve their deliverables, their
quality, their presentation, such that
they are able to continue to grow as
consultants and as individuals.
