Pros

Serco was responsive to provide tools, equipment, training and HR support. Serco hired top-notch people and did not over-supervise employees. Serco paid better than average based on similar positions

Cons

There was a disconnected working relationship with those that were supporting the client/customer on a daily basis and those that worked in the corporate structure. Never will the Corporate office promote you and partner with you. If you are giving 10 gallons of milk in your cubicle (stall) supporting the customer you will remain there forever, as long as you keep producing. There will be little chance to take on a greater responsibility or higher position. Unless you are hired directly into the corporate office structure, you will never get there through merit or skill. If Serco's contract with a customer ends; forget about any transition to another similar position AND there is no room on the bench, even if there are other job openings.

Pros

You get to directly impact clients' success. "Decent" pay for the location.

Cons

Leadership will shift blame onto teams instead of taking accountability for their own shortcomings, and Program Managers won't take the time to seek clarification, leading to misinformed decisions and unfair outcomes. They are more focused on internal politics and protecting their seat than recognizing or rewarding actual contributions. You can work hard for years with consistently strong performance and still be passed over for promotion in favor of someone who has built the right relationships with management, even if the have not proven themselves yet. Support is subpar. Employees often spend more time troubleshooting issues themselves than receiving timely or effective assistance.
