the best working enviroment

INTERNATIONAL ACCOUNT SENIOR ADVISOR (Current Employee)
Cairo (Egypt)

I have been working at Vodafone UK full-time for more than a year

Prosthe best reason for working in Vodafone uk is that i feel really that am dealing with people who are respecting their employees and dealing with advisor as the manager we are working together to achieve our target which is making Vodafone a brand name and not just a network , it is a network that you can depend on

Consthe rotational shifts and the rush of calls and because it is at smart village , it is hard for me to carry on working there

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Global Company

Human Resources (Current Employee)
London, England (UK)

Open environment, full of people willing to teach and share experience

Graduate Intern (Current Employee)
Newbury, England (UK)

I have been working at Vodafone UK

ProsThere are loads of opportunities to progress and although there is always an element of competition, people are willing to help and teach. The campus is a beautiful place to work, and the open environment puts everyone on the same level.

ConsSome people are still a little stuck in the old Vodafone UK culture and are very corporate and unwilling to change.

Advice to Senior ManagementBe more open to change. We're in danger on missing the boat with new technology because of an old fashioned brand mentality.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
