Capita reviews

Recently Capita had received a number of 5 star reviews in the space of a week. Please don't be fooled by this. This was obviously a recruiting strategy done in by trying to influence the overall rating on Glassdoor and improve their already tarnished reputation. No company in the world gets those kind of ratings. This proves that the decision makers are either a, sneaky dishonest and greedy or b, completely stupid. I consider them to be both. If you have any pride in your career, or a passion for translation and interpreting, avoid. the place will stall you and make you question your life's purpose. Lionbridge, Moravia and a plethora of other localization companies are streets ahead. Aim to work for these companies. This place is beyond anywhere near that level. But if you like being ignorant, then hey this is the place for you. :)

You are more likely to be offered jobs at Rentokill, Perfume shop etc. You are pressured to apply to all job roles, at any location in the country. Hence you will not be fulfilling your obligations if you're not willing to relocate across the country to a less than stellar sounding job appointment. The training is inadequate, and more emphasis is placed on interview soft skills rather than project management or business analysis. This is to ensure you pass the interview with their clients so i assume they meet their quotas. You would be just as capable of completing the jobs advertised without the training provided whilst learning on the role, given how bad the training is. We were assessed on our progress by way of self assessed tests in the first fortnight of training. Half of this first fortnight was interview soft skills. You will not receive any qualifications until you have started a paid contract and generated Capita revenue for 6 months!! At which point you will receive a voucher to go and complete the exams in your own time. Its not that they wont tell you this explicitly if you ask, but they will avoid outright saying it unless asked. In short i think this is another graduate job opportunity that relies on the naivety of new graduates not appreciating their worth. You will not be 'lucky' to be on this course and should not be grateful, you do not need to 'bridge the gap between learning and employment' you already have these skills. Capita simply want to profit off of you.
