York Data Services Reviews

Everything about the job. Training - None existent Career Opportunities - None existent Management - Want your blood sweat and tears Pay - God awful On Call - You will be on call for EVERYTING, and you will be expected to sit at your at your home computer and have no life while you're on call. One example was when I got a call at 3am because the power had gone down at a standard broadband customers site. Then I was told by the MD the next day that I was not polite enough. This may have been because I was half asleep and can't fix a connecting if there is no power. That brings me on to the main reason you should not work at this company. The owner/MD. He is the first person to tell when the internet connection has a problem, because he will sit at his PC constantly refreshing HSBC's website watching his money. Or getting all the staff to come outside to look at his new car after rejecting any pay rise any staff asks for / deserves. The most shallow and unprofessional person I've ever met. When interviewing for staff he has rejected people on the fact they are to fat, looked funny, didn't like their shoes and they didn't like 80 synth. I also want to add that the 1 positive review on here is written by the owner.

No parking, so either take a bus or cycle where there is only one shower head to service a building of over 30 people from 2 businesses Relatively low pay throughout company for the industry Projects are overbearingly micro managed therefore run so slowly that it isn't abnormal for an extra 12 months to be added onto an otherwise simple projects (if they ever get finished) Almost no training and absolutely no career progression, even if this is promised Falling behind other tech companies due to not implementing new technologies and working practices Employees are chastised in front of the whole room for mistakes or lack of knowledge (see lack of training) You are micro managed in everything you do even lunchtimes All employees are expendable and replaceable
