Pros

The company has a big name and some highly interesting customers. It's a good place for learning on the job if you're not afraid of working without any support and occasoinally making mistakes. There are some very competent people at Computacenter, and it's great to work with them. However, there is no follow up and communication across business units is not supported. Pay is good, and includes a car lease. The downside is that you have to pay extra for each scratch.

Cons

The company is huge, but there is no overall concept for management, communication, planning, and so on. There are some highly skilled technical people. But middle management is totally unfit for the job, especially in terms of people management.

Pros

Only 'pros' are if your face fits the company profile and you're a sycophantic parasite.

Cons

Where to start... The first couple of months working for their BT/DWP account were fine, I was promised promotions, training and basically told I would gain a great career if I was to do more work for the company on top of what I had to do in a daily basis. Thinking my hard work would pay off I was basically given nothing of the sort. Instead I was given management work so that management could have an easier life looking at the internet and claiming my rewards for them selves. When questioning managements' 'tactics' and 'theories' my 'career' was dead. Thus bullying, threatening and stress followed. Undeserving people whose jobs I was effectively doing gained promotions and to top it off I was asked to train these said people to do their jobs properly. The FACE reviews are complete and utter BS. Basically you're repeating yourself over and over as to why you think you should be acknowledged better by the company only to be told in your FACE review you're wrong and the company is right. Pointless. Complaints will not be heard unless your management especially if they are about management either bullying you, being incompetent, you know, all the things that you could do wrong being manager will not be heard or entertained. If you complain then you're marked and are on the wrong side of management once you are then leave ASAP. Otherwise you'll get meeting after meeting at least one day a week pushing you out. I was then given other peoples work to do whilst they sat their looking at the internet when I refused because of that reason I was not a 'team player' thus resulting in even more weekly meetings with company policies being rammed down my throat by a sycophantic, over weight parasite that I could run circles round with just basic intelligence. I have now moved on and I couldn’t be happier. Avoid this company unless you are a corporate parasite. If you are then you’ll fit right in.

Pros

No real good reasons to work for this company.

Cons

Where to start... -Management is totally incompetent. -Employees are not trained at all. -There is no incentive to do well the job.(solve IT issues) -A lot of back stabbing, lies in the Barcelona office. The TL and DM managers are highly incompetent who got their job God only knows how. None of them is a Qualified Engineer or real Sales or Marketing Person. Nobody goes up because they work hard, it is really incredible to see. The results are catastrophic (Ask their Airbus client.)
