Pros

Some of the people were nice. Free fruit day. Sometimes there would be running water. Free cheap coffee, tea and milk. Home time.

Cons

Wow, where to start? This place is so backwards. Toxic work environment. A lot of toxic people work here and they THRIVE! The 'senior' team are truly disgraceful. Really scraping the barrel here! The staff survey they do, they make you watch a presentation before you fill it in. Then, you have to fill it in whilst a member of management is in the room, looking over at everyone's screens. Absolute BS, so you cannot trust any of the data they source this way. Staff that have been there for some time are on older contracts (salaried) and take advantage of this, arriving well after 9, leaving well before 5 and taking extended breaks. I'd probably estimate they worked part time hours at most, yet paid for full time hours. The same staff walked around with a sense of self importance, not usually seen in people carrying out such menial jobs on poor salary (can only guess they had further issues outside of work, which meant they felt they needed to overcompensate at work?!) There are just too many things about Serco, an endless list. Guys, the grass is 100% greener on the other side. This place is a drain; depressing. Anyone with more than a couple of brain cells is better than this place. Here's to Serco losing the NAS and NCS contracts or actually hiring competent senior staff :) The government would be stupid to hand Serco the contract again, Serco belong with the likes of Thomas Cook, Comet, BHS and Blockbuster.

Pros

You get to directly impact clients' success. "Decent" pay for the location.

Cons

Leadership will shift blame onto teams instead of taking accountability for their own shortcomings, and Program Managers won't take the time to seek clarification, leading to misinformed decisions and unfair outcomes. They are more focused on internal politics and protecting their seat than recognizing or rewarding actual contributions. You can work hard for years with consistently strong performance and still be passed over for promotion in favor of someone who has built the right relationships with management, even if the have not proven themselves yet. Support is subpar. Employees often spend more time troubleshooting issues themselves than receiving timely or effective assistance.
