Pros

cap hpi is likely a good company for non technical, non creative personnel (see Cons). They provide flexible working, great work events (Xmas etc.) and a comfortable work environment. They are industry leaders, with a solid financial outlook and business strategy.

Cons

This is specifically aimed at developers considering cap hpi as an employer. TL;DR - Great developers would be best to avoid. You'll become dulled and likely be unhappy. Professionally dispassionate types will be fine. cap hpi take a troubling approach to software development. This is rooted in the institutionalised management (typically the old developers of the legacy systems) and career developers who continue to proliferate poor practices and approaches to development. Before considering a position, take note: - Stored procedure architecture is used and abused for almost everything. - CI/CD considered a nice to have rather than fundamental process. - Manual testing preferred over Unit/Integration/Automation. Developers writing tests considered a waste of time and money. - Decades of technical debt left to get out of control. You'll be expected to support it. - "Scrum" teams are not implementing many of the core Scrum principles. Not agile; fragile. - Senior managers have little respect for developer experience or opinion. - One tool to rule them all rather than right tool for right job. Fear, uncertainty and doubt dominate and suffocate creativity.

Solera Response

Hello, thank you for taking the time to comment. As a manager of one of the developer teams myself I agree there are technical challenges at cap hpi. I’m relatively new to cap hpi and I can see that the high rate of growth, combined with a recent merger can make the developer role testing at times, but, I haven’t seen anything different in any other organisation I’ve worked for. We all started out as (and we still are) developers, so we really do understand the issues of our teams. I wish you the best of luck in your current and future roles. Helen

Pros

Snack room was decent. It's sad that the snack room is the only pro I can think of.

Cons

Horrible structure. Rude leadership. Moved to different team because, brace yourselves, other people quit unexpectedly. HR was complacent when senior leaders made the place a hostile work environment. Contract was worded in such a vague way that the "bonus" would essentially never have to be paid. Just a real nightmare. I should've quit on my first day when they "asked" me to be in a different team than originally discussed.
