London Computer Systems reviews about "training"

Technical staff are underpaid Lack of Vision Lack of willingness to fix fundamental issues Lack of courage to make necessary changes Resistance to new technologies You won’t get a work laptop You won’t get the necessities for development You won’t be appreciated for what you do You won’t get a clear UI mock for your projects Teams keep making breaking changes for other teams Late and unfair reviews No long-term and badly planned short-term projects Unreliable systems Almost no opportunity to grow

Low pay for the work you do. Workloads could be very heavy. No diversity and inclusion training for employees (unless you were management)

Call center is not for everyone, not much cross training available

- Pay is low compared to other companies in the industry. - Accountability is poor for under performing employees.

- Management almost actively discourages ideas and suggestions. - If you're not one of the developers/managers that have been at the company for 8+ years, you won't be told why decisions are being made, and your input won't be asked for. - Tools, technologies, and processes are either outdated, inefficient, or incorrectly implemented. It's frequently all three. Version control, code reviews, and DevOps are all a daily source of frustration. - Many best practices are not implemented at all, and some important ones are implemented incorrectly. Management doesn't want to hear about it or fix it, making the applications slow and buggy. - Technical "training" consists entirely of a Pluralsight account and sparse Confluence documents. Standards are not communicated across teams working on the same product. - Company policies are not flexible and sometimes communicate general distrust of employees. Developers are allowed only 5 days a year to work from home, and that's only after they've been at the company for a year. Otherwise you have to take PTO if you're sick, need to be home for a package, etc. - Overall, if you're looking for a first job or just want a friendly, nice place to work LCS is a good option. If you've ever worked for a modern company before or want the skills to do so, you'll likely be frustrated here.

The benefits are okay. When I started it, we had to go to the office 2 times a week and the owner decided to change it to go 3 times a week every other week which made it uncertain when he is going to make changes to remote working again. The pay was very low and probably the reason for the high turnover in the product support department.

- Training - too much product training is assigned to developers - No cafeteria :-/ - With such a wide range of products to work on, product documentation needed improvement

Lack of diversity in most departments, on-call scheduled for non-exempt employees, and the overwhelming workload for understaffed departments.
