Pros

FTSE 100 company, very successful in their field with sustained growth, wide range of operational areas, informal, feels like a family business

Cons

Annual leave entitlement, pension provision, divide between levels within the organisation, very unstructured approach in most areas, training and development almost none existant, performance management patchy at best.

Pros

Relatively good salary and benefits in London. Capita is well known around the country. Has a good potential if the company is to turn around. Has financial backing of the parent company at any time.

Cons

Sometimes incompetent management and some employees. Too much hierarchy. Falling behind the industry. Lack of accountability for actions or job done. Not always thinking as a customer service provider should think. Management is too easy with employees sometimes and therefore quality does not improve. Poor pricing structure of services provided. Sometimes it feels as numbers were just guessed.

Pros

Large UK presence, diverse opportunities, satisfactory salary (assuming you have at least 4 years good experience) and relaxed work culture.

Cons

Too many cowboys who think they know it. Not sure whether this is due to the company's growth strategy throgh mergers and acquisitions (rather than through organic growth). But definitely there is a mix of super great guys and super not-so-great guys. Unfortunately, I experienced working with the latter more often than wished.
