Pros

Flexibility and the worklife balance is pretty decent. The medical benefits for 2010 were good. That about all it is when it comes to Serco

Cons

As a federal govt contractor there is very little options once the contract ends. Project managers are recycled often. There is very little cohesiveness between team members. Vacation is 2 weeks and must be accrued. Serco doesnt acknowledge when you apply for an internal position within Serco corporate office. No incentives at the end of the year.

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.
