Pros

Teams work well together, the job always gets done. Pay is comparable with other companies in the sector. Good office location.

Cons

Appalling management, constandly changing business direction for no obvious reason. Large degree of job uncertainty with reviews being carried out. No structured career path what so ever. Capita employees are very much just a number, with the compant focused on making money with little of no interest in moral or employee career progression.

Pros

As an external contractor the pay can be excellent. No pointless following of methodologies. The possibility to work on large, genuinely important projects...

Cons

... which turned out to be a chimera as management carried out frequent reorganisations for no obviosu reason other than political infighting over budget control. There was no overall design strategy and what technlogical strategy there had been was ripped apart as part of the political machinations. An unhappy place that I was happy to depart.

Shambolic Management

Pros

Diversity of jobs; evolving structure means there are real opportunities for the lucky few with the ear of local managers. Far to many people are holding down jobs they are obviously not fit to do well. Lip service to performance management means that they stay put in comfort zones. Many good staff leaving as they see that they have poor prospects of promotion or meaningful training

Cons

Very poor management at virtually every level. Company is made up of other acquired companies and there is little concerted effort to consolidate. Too many placemen
