Sopra Steria reviews

No real career progression, even though they say there is. Line management can be poor, it depends greatly on where you're place. T&Cs are pathetic to be honest. When working on site you have to buy your own lunch! No overnight subsistence allowance. Everything relating to HR is off shore, and the India centre doesn't work "off script". You end up in the same disputes over expenses over and over again. Overall culture not great - you feel like a number, not a valued employee. Getting training is difficult, there doesn't seem to be an appetite to invest in the staff.

1. The biggest issue I've faced is the lack of support, training & guidance (as I was promised I'd get). Some people are just bullies. 2. Pay is not great & definitely not in line with industry standards. There can also be wild differences in pay levels for people within the same role. 3. Flagging point 1 to management, the offer of support is very minimal, especially considering that many of my predecessors had flagged to them the same issue. 4. Some of the tasks in my job I expected, some I did not. It should have rung alarm bells when (before the interview stage) I was told there was no JD for the role. 5. Bonuses are awful. A £40 voucher? Which we were asked (voluntarily) to contribute towards our Xmas party? Also the Xmas party & Xmas Dinner you have to pay for to participate in... WHAT? I've never ever had that at any company I've worked at. There's normally a budget for the company to throw an Xmas celebration for its staff! 6. We supposedly pride ourselves on being stringent on our security. However we recently had traveller friends camp out in the carpark for a couple of weeks. How is that stringent security?
