Pros

- The IT Support is good - Projects with very nice clients.

Cons

- Extremely high turnover of staff, mostly resignations. - Poor Morale amongst entry and middle level staff. - Contracts are short term, and offer little to no security. - Inept and manipulative top management, smiling assassins, who are all old friends and as such are untouchable in terms of how they treat staff. - Extreme double standards. - Very poor health and safety standards, as recognised throughout the industry. - Priority of company profit before anything else, including well being of staff. - They dont pay people internally or externally - see Alastors / Complete Utilities. - A naive way of going about business in the 21st Century, it still operates in the same way it did as Carillion, but with no lessons being learnt, a repeat of an inevitable failure is on the horizon again. - I wouldn't recommend to my friends or even enemies to work there. - A top down willingness by Snr Management to lie and throw employees under the bus to save ones own skin.

Pros

Coming into my eighth year at telent, I have thoroughly enjoyed working here and couldn’t praise the company enough, they have supported me from serious family issues and my career has continually progressed, they have helped me develop myself and I am still being encouraged and trained to continue to improve which I feel I am doing, I feel a true loyalty to the company and the team I work within

Cons

Sometimes feel like there is a lack of support from various functions as the business is still growing
