Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Advanced full-time for more than a year
Pros
*Some great, dedicated individuals who will go out of their way to help a customer *Some flexibility in terms of working arrangements *Salary was OK - often was told it was low, but I found it comparable to the market. *Work/Life balance was good
Cons
*Too much in-fighting - a company at war with itself! * Not working as one team - I was hung out to dry in front of a customer on more than occasion by colleagues for no other reason than to protect themselves or make themselves look good. *Some "managers" are awful and live off reputation or fear - no idea how they have managed to get into their position. * Questionable HR policies * Too many people take their customers for granted - rather than work in partnership, they are happy to just sit there and watch the money roll in, without realising their customers actually see what's happening! *I honestly think senior managers are clueless to what's occurring - such a disconnect between senior managers and staff on the ground *Company sells itself to do too much, without realising (or maybe it does) that it can't deliver half of what it promises to it's customers!

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at Advanced full-time for more than a year
Pros
I loved this job,people were great in my team, supportive management in the Service Management team. Trusted to do your job and rewarded for doing it well, I enjoyed flexibility in hours to assist my work/life balance, spot bonus, recognition from managers, team away days. the free fruit is a huge plus too :) I was made to feel very valued and it was a difficult decision to leave. Lots of opportunity to move into other areas of IT, the business and the group if you want it also.
Cons
I left solely due to financial reasons so pay could be improved on in some roles. But overall for Advanced as a company I have no cons and would recommend anyone join.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookDisapproves of CEOI have been working at Advanced full-time for more than a year
Pros
Great team, good/work life balance
Cons
Developers are useless, can't follow the simplest instructions and have support hold their hand because they cannot replicate issues themselves. No training whatsoever. Little chance for progression past Support Consultant roles Teams are falling in numbers because: HR/recruitment take ages to approve anything because they are too busy going to Vegas or some other place to do non work related stuff Team morale drops because other companies treat their employees right and pay them a decent wage for the same job, which also means that product knowledge can go with them as the company never gives these people time to do training in the teams to pass on said knowledge Managers are either too scared to resolve annimosity in the team, seem to not bother with team meeting , or do not have the slightest idea of other team products when they go on call. Management should have cross training if they are to support other products out of hours. Managers should be able to sort disputes/annimosity in teams instead of appearing to be worried about upsetting one person instead of the whole team. Managers should not be draining team morale due to not giving team meetings when requested by the majority of their team

RecommendsPositive OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI worked at Advanced full-time for more than a year
Pros
Great relationship with line manager, good location, good colleagues who became friends, good work/life balance.
Cons
The senior management didn't support our department and were reluctant to expand our team or provide any learning or development so ultimately I was forced to go elsewhere. Only when I said I had another job offer did they jump to keep me but it was too little, too late.

Pros
Management listen to ideas, and take these on board. Good working conditions - working from home has a positive impact on work/life balance. Learning opportunities - supported to learn more skills.
Cons
Advanced seems to have a poor reputation which can make it seem like a very negative place to work. A recent period of change in the company has given some staff, and former employees a very negative view. Hopefully this will change in time.
