      The perception from the outside is not the reality on the inside

      Anonymous employee

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Working for a recognised "brand" organisation. If you're lucky, there are opportunities to get involved with some interesting and diverse projects and clients. Ability (within reason) to choose working hours/routine to suit.

      Cons

      The perception of the Datacom brand in the market is massively at odds with the reality. You may be shoved into a role on the basis of simply being available, not the ability to perform the role (or have to deal with working with someone in that position). The very flexible approach to working hours can be challenging when it comes to arranging a schedule with colleagues who choose vastly different hours/routines. Very poor salaries. The low salaries mean there are very few experienced or quality people to work with or for the less experienced people to learn from. Management is very disconnected. Very much a case of "them and us". Very poorly defined career progression based primarily on being "one of us" rather than ability or aptitude. There is an obsession with an annual survey of employee engagement but no real attention given to actually providing an engaging workplace.

      Awful middle management

      Software developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Ok place to start you career. You get a feel for different parts of the industry if you're contracted out to other companies. You can end up working on some decent projects with talented people but it can depend on luck.

      Cons

      Middle management is not interested in you regardless of what they might say. What matters at the end of the day is their financial targets. Lots of cliques within the company and lots of back scratching.
