Anyone here worked for Capita?

[Flopsy]

My husband worked for Capita in London. It wasn't like any other IT outsourcing IT company he had worked with before (or since). The people weren't like the "normal" range of IT people (sorry this is hard to get across). None of them were professionals or even geeks.

There were lots of young people out of general school courses or those who had changed careers and done a course in IT (like those ads on TV). It was more like a Jobcentre mix of employees or an Estate Agents (that's the closest we can get to the people).

Having Capita on your CV isn't good. It's an option to consider if there is simply nothing else or if there is something specific that they can train you in.

Just an opinion. It may just have been the staff at this London site as well.

Working for them ATM and they seem fine to be honest, all going through LTD Co. with no problems.

That being said there are only 2 permies in the building I'm in, the rest of us are contractors so I have virtually no experiance of what the permie side of the company is like.

I've had the exact same experience at another client co. One office was fine, 99% contractors, I was there for 6 months. A different office in the same client co was 95% staffys with chips on their shoulders so wide that they couldn't hardly get through the doors, I was there for 6 weeks because that's how long it took to line up another gig elsewhere.
