Pros

Nothing pro to list here. Computacenter is a terrible company that runs a business like a sweatshop operation and treats their employees poorly.

Cons

If you are an IT professional, with great technical skills that loves going above and beyond for your customers stay away from this company because they treat their top employees very poorly. If you are friends with the manager, that's another story. You can come in whenever you want or not come in at al.l You get to chill in the tech room all day and watch movies, youtube videos and or facetime with your friends while the ticket queues are all backed up and customers desperately need help. Unlimited nap time in the conference rooms or the cafeteria and if you are hungry just help yourself to lunch and never pay for it. ComputaCenter is one of the worst companies I have ever worked for as an IT Professional. Their payrates are not up to todays standard IT rates, health insurance is overpriced and they force you to use your vacation time when the customer has their Christmas Shutdown. They hire kids, that have no qualifications or knowledge about anything IT related to solve critical technical issues in a scientific environment that could cost the customer a lot of money if handled wrong. I worked late many times because of all the slackers and kids this company hires without properly getting compensated and/or never got a thank you. Yet when I said something to management all I get is grief. Hopefully the customer will wake up sooner then later and go with another vendor.

Pros

Great location, great co workers, great leadership

Cons

Can be a bit too sales focused and forget that other departments are just as important. Lots of perks for sales that are not availbale to anyone else in the company

Pros

Pay and job title are crazy nice

Cons

This place is less data center more fulfillment center style. Walk in and are told to just copy that rack. No training. Then if you make a mistake they get mad even though nothing was explained.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for highlighting both the positives and the areas where we can improve. We’re pleased to hear that you value the pay and job title, but it’s disappointing to read that your experience with training and support has not met expectations. Starting in a new environment without clear guidance can be challenging, particularly in a technical role where structure and consistency are important. Your comments around the need for more effective onboarding, clearer instruction, and better support are important. We recognise that learning by observation alone is not sufficient for everyone, and creating an environment where people feel confident and set up for success is a key part of being a place where people matter. We also take seriously your point about how mistakes are handled. A supportive culture should ensure that people are guided constructively, especially while they are still learning. Thank you again for your honest feedback, which helps us continue improving the experience we provide
