Pros

Gives you the necessary step in the door, even if you haven't done anything in IT before within 3 months you will be an IT consultant. Opportunities to work with alot of companies and get some valuable experience. Basically if you are a graduate and you want to get in IT, often this is the only way you can realistically do it.

Cons

Terrible HR. Emails left unreplied. No financial support, very short notice for moving. Training is poor and you are left, and not tailored to your own need or the needs of the cleeint. You also take the risk of being thrown into a technology which you don't enjoy...

Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to hear you are enjoying your time with us so far, but would like to offer some assistance with some of the comments you have made. We have recently made some improvements to the speed at which we communicate site locations to our consultants - providing you with more notice and ensuring you are supported throughout. In some cases, due to client demand, this can be a little shorter than we would like. We will avoid this as far as possible. We would always advise that you call the People Team helpline for any queries. This number is manned from 9 - 5:30 Mon to Fri and you will be able to speak to someone directly. Please provide feedback on your training to your line manager, so that we can explore how we can assist you in this. All training provided to you is of a high standard and widely recognised, so for any feedback that does not match expectations we would like to find out more to see how we can improve this. We thank you for taking the time to provide your input, and best of luck in your role with us.

Pros

The skills platform developed by the former Cloud Academy team was innovative and well-received by customers.

Cons

Since my voluntary departure, the company has proven to be unreliable and somewhat cagey. Under the terms of their articles of association and ISD, they had 12 months to repurchase my preferred shares. Nearly 18 months have passed, and they refuse to repurchase my shares or communicate any reasons for the delay. One might conclude that they are dealing with financial difficulties.
