Where do I start? Useless, inept, and quite frankly offensive management who (literally) sit with their feet up on the table.
Turnover is insanely high. You will either quit or be sacked before they can fail to deliver on the dreams you’re sold when you join.
Very cliquey. You’re part of the “in” crowd or you’re not. Absolutely zero trust in employees. You will be micromanaged within an inch of your life. Potential for management to extend your probation period without warning to keep their hands on the (small amounts of) commission you should be getting. Would not be surprised if management were stood watching over someone’s shoulder as these 5-star reviews were typed out.
The apple really doesn’t fall far from the tree - if you Google search “Jones Beckett ContractorUK” you will find a forum where you can read about how a Capax director’s previous company, Jones Beckett, was liquidated and numerous contractors apparently went without getting paid. Additionally, the forum talks you through the many alleged shameless internal practices at Jones Beckett that were also going on at Capax whilst I worked there. They rip candidates for leads, sell candidates jobs that don’t exist, ridicule and mock interviewees in private, refer to consultancies with a large Indian workforce as “sweatshops” - I could go on.
I’ve seen them threaten to withhold holiday from people as punishment. I’ve seen employees brought to tears.
If you are interviewing here, I have one word for you: Run.
