Technology firm on the up! - Managing Consultant Castleton Technology Employee Review

Exposure to an array of modern technology. Work alongside subject matter experts that will aid with your personal development. Permanent employees are assigned a training plan that include instructor led courses. Courses include VMware, Microsoft, Cisco, Dell and others. Competitive salaries are on offer with rewards for individuals who go above and beyond what is required. Overtime is available where required and within the Managed Services side of the business, an on call calendar is in operation which new employees may be invited to join as positions become available. Castleton are a company who like to promote from within, during my time as an employee I have been fortunate enough to be promoted to a point where I am a member of the Management Team for Castleton Managed Services. When I started working for Keylogic 6 years ago, I was taken on as a Junior Consultant. Unlike roles I have held within previous companies, if you are promoted, you are not kept artificially low and are remunerated to reflect your change in responsibility. Where customer visits are required, employees may make use of a company provided pool car. Pool cars are available at all major offices and in most cases, a fuel card is used to avoid paying for fuel and claiming back via expenses. Where site visits are more than 2 x hours away from your usual place of work, an overnight stay can be booked via the corporate booking system. From a social point of view, Castleton have in recent years had separate Xmas parties for Managed Services and Software Solutions. However, there are plans this year for a joint party. Further social gatherings are to be arranged by the Social & Innovation team, those being discussed include the likes of go-karting and paintball! In order to get up front and honest feedback from employees, a number of staff lunches & dinners are being held with our Managing Director. Castleton has been growing up over the past few years following a number of acquisitions. Many of the companies acquired had previously operated with a flat hierarchy, this has taken time for employees (including myself!) to gel within the new structure. The company is certainly run more like a medium sized organisation instead of a number of smaller companies coupled together. Now is a great time to join following a series of new business wins that new employees can become involved with!
