Pros

If you are lucky you can have the chance to travel

Cons

HR lies about promotion and salary In 5+yrs I manage to "promote" from Junior programmer to Senior programmer No salary increase in 5+yrs Management is very bad, they rely on consultants (mainly Accenture) with no experience to manage projects and people that have the knowledge are treated very badly. Teams are completely burnout, resulting on people don't wanting to work. If there is a challenge they just fight to not do it and try other team to address the issue. There is no sharing of information across teams.

Thank you for giving your time to give us feedback. We are working hard in the UK to improve our employee experience, for example we are driving our permanent recruitment now instead of relying on contractors so heavily. I am not sure what happened in your circumstance in relation to your salary increase but I do know that every year there is always a salary review. The only time we would not give someone an increase would be if they were a poor performer or if they were already paid above our salary guides which are market data driven and regularly reviewed. We know that our promotion process needs to be more dynamic and for the past two years have had a structured process in place for managers to put forward their nominations and they can also do this on a case by case basis if the demand is there. We have our Simple, Personal and Fair behaviours that we are encouraging everyone to live by and there are many avenues for people to speak out if they think they are being treated unfairly.

Pros

Absolutely none. Say goodbye to a career in IT and your sanity. Seriously avoid this place like the plague.

Cons

Everything. Don't touch this place with a barge pole even if it's the last job left on the planet and your life depends on it. You'll be undermined at every step; there is no logic to project lifecycles and management couldn't arrange a pi55 up in a brewery. When contractors have been employed for more than 10 years plus, you do have to question the business. Join this dump at your peril but be advised you'll be likely to ruin your career in IT.
