Great People making it work

Pros

The great people make Computacenter a good place to work. The company has grown quite rapidly over the last 20 years and has been an interesting place to be whilst the mix of business has moved from pure sale of computer equipment to a services based business. I built some firm friendships there and will definitely miss some of the people I've worked with for many years.

Cons

When I joined Computacenter a long time ago it still felt like a small company that was doing very well. Since then there have been growing pains as the mix of business has changed and the size of customer has increased (in both size and complexity). There have been occasions where the size of the company has caused issues with cottage industries appearing in organisational silos rather than a more joined up group approach to doing business internationally. There have also been regular restructures to try and evolve the business, which inevitably create short term confusion at the lower levels of management (where I spent my time).

Pros

Fantastic company to work for if you want to progress your career. It is within your gift to proactively drive your own development and opportunities are there for the taking if you are prepared to be proactive. The culture is very supportive and you have access to Managers who care. Although growing in headcount rapidly, Computacenter is still small enough for individuals to have a voice and influence change. The people are great and they have a culture where recognition is important.

Cons

If in a client facing delivery role, the nature of the job requires travelling to work on client site, which can mean staying away from home for periods of time. But that is true of any delivery role in a Professional Services environment.
