Pros
To be honest I could not say as I was not there long enough,
Cons
I was recruited for an urgent Public Sector contract role. No contract or laptop was available on my first day, everything was rushed from the start to finish. I did not get all my tools to work, MS Visio or my NHS laptop was not fully working until Thursday morning. All the same, I completed all my work and more by that Friday Afternoon. I was fired on the following Monday for absolutely no reason. None of my work was even inspected or reviewed and I was given no opportunity to show the NHS client/Kainos what I had done. I am a professional and my reputation proceeds me and everything I do is to a very high standard. I have 20 years’ Service Management experience working for blue-chip companies for lengthy contracts. . Getting paid was even a challenge, I was told to submit my timesheet for 6 days that I had worked (no notice period was paid) and I would be paid on the 15th. That never happened. Again, referral and chasing up. It’s disappointing how someone can make such a judgement on another person without any substantial evidence. This has left a very deep scare on my self-esteem. Don’t touch this company with a barge poll they are completely toxic. If you thinking of contracting here be very careful very disingenuous company. I didn't even get one week’s notice which is fairly standard on most contracts. No mention of notice in my contractual agreement. How someone can be effectively measured on just 2-3 days of work is complete nonsense. Especially as no one even looked it. The joke here is my line manager at the NHS turned up to work in lycra cycling shorts and top and wore that all day without changing into clean work clothes, who is the professional one here? The manager at the NHS had not ITIL service Management experience or qualifications and it was so obvious he saw me as a threat, that I would potentially expose the gross incompetency due to lack of processes and procedure within a very the chaotic environment.
