Fantastic company, graduate scheme could be better
Pros
* The Vodafone culture is brilliant, very supportive colleagues and supportive business, real focus on employee well-being, learning and supporting a wide range of topics * Colleagues - everyone is lovely and I've never had a catch up or support session declined when needed * Approach to hybrid working is really good * So many different areas to get involved in and so many cool projects going on * Very flexible working environment
Cons
* Lack of honesty or clarity from HR for graduates, a lot of misinformation, lack of information, changing information * On paper the idea of the scheme is brilliant but the reality is that your placements can be very hit or miss and may not always allow you to develop in the areas that you wish * Can sometimes feel as though youth are not valued * Sometimes hard to do your job as we are not provided with the proper development tools and software that we need * Lack of support on the technology streams - we were left without a point of contact for a good 5-6 months * Lot of uncertainty about a full time role at the end of the scheme
