Pros

Employee benefits such as pension, time off and share plans.

Cons

Pay is below market rates for those who want to progress internally, often being offered a minimal increase whilst external applicants for the same role will be paid market rates. Doesn't promote loyalty. Leadership talk about digital first and automation on monthly listen live broadcasts yet all funding for automation projects is always pulled resulting in less staff and poorly implemented automation. Agile Product backlogs are product graveyards... IT architects don't seem to have any clue how the business works nor is their a cohesive strategy on automation, leaving it to individual business units to come up with ideas but then have to battle with IT to get anything approved. Often being told it's not part of the strategy but aren't forthcoming when asked what the strategy is. I think there's far too much ego, politics and covering ones behind rather than delivering anything, I mean look at the $$ blackhole that is Vector if you can get through the circled wagons. Not enough owning up to mistakes and being accountable. Doing the right thing is supposed to be a value but apart from those on the coal face I don't see it being done elsewhere, car park should be full of Del boy styled BMW and Audis.

Innovative talent all over Vodafone
