Pros

Decent enough access to some training resources. Pension contributions good, ability to buy additional holidays. Probably a good place if you are a fresh graduate who can be moulded to fit the corporate values or if you just need a couple of years of easy street until you reach pension age.

Cons

The constant preaching of the corporate values that they can't actually adhere themselves to. Lack of meaningful work in my chosen profession yet senior management blamed staff for this. Excuse me?! It's not my job to bring in new customers and clients. Constantly trying to shoehorn staff into different business areas which do not match the person's skills. Having to continually chase for project codes and dealing with the wrath of HR when they weren't available for you to input into the timesheet system. Senior business management are quick to tell you what you need to write on the department polls so that they look good, anything else (your own opinion) isn't considered to be the Cap way. Senior managements attitude in regions such as Inverness is terrible, very aggressive bordering on bullying. Too long on bench and they will quickly find a way to get rid of you, typically through a very biased redundancy scheme in which they just make up criteria that has no relevance (you failed to fill out your time sheet etc).

Pros

Company provides training on soft skills and technical skills prior to placing on a project.

Cons

Client contracts can end unexpectedly so you may not get to work on a project long term and change from project to project.

Pros

there are no pros for this company

Cons

I was laid off after spending several months on the bench, with "lack of available projects" cited as the reason. However, another consultant in the same role who was also without an active client engagement was retained. As a woman and racial minority, I could not ignore the disparity in how these decisions appeared to be made. Before my termination, I reported being recorded without my consent and raised concerns about conduct that I believed reflected implicit bias. I was referred to as "URM" instead of by my name or role, encouraged toward race based employee resource groups rather than meaningful career opportunities, and repeatedly advocated for fair project placement while on the bench. My employment ended shortly after I raised these concerns. Following my termination, I pursued the matter through the appropriate internal and legal channels. I provided documentation supporting my concerns and gave the company multiple opportunities to investigate and resolve the issues. Rather than meaningfully addressing the evidence or acknowledging the seriousness of the allegations, the company denied wrongdoing, offered what I viewed as a nominal severance, and declined to accept accountability. Employees deserve confidence that concerns about discrimination and retaliation will be investigated objectively and fairly. My experience left me with the opposite impression.
