Awful organisation, avoid at all costs

Pros

No positives at all these days. It used to be a great organisation to work in before we were sold to Amentum, now it is just miserable.

Cons

Hierarchical command-and-control American organisation that doesn't understand or appreciate that the rest of the world doesn't operate the same way that their US government contracts do. Dreadful systems that are stuck in the 1980s - Deltek Costpoint is appalling. Pay lip service to inclusion, belonging and caring about the employees but really it's all about the bottom line and nothing else. Senior management are in their ivory towers and don't appreciate how life really is at the coal face. Morale is at absolute rock bottom among most employees and it is difficult to see anything improving anytime soon.

Pros

You can move around different contract positions if you wish

Cons

Whatever salary you come in is where you are stuck. You will get a yearly increase but it is very minimal, generally not in line with inflation. If you move up within the company be prepared to get almost no salary increase.

Pros

Diversity is improving with the recent graduate intakes. People generally nice and helpful.

Cons

Says the focus on the employee networks but they don’t, no investment in this and no improvement has been made in the 17 months after the merger with Jacobs. Awful systems still not working well. Change is slow
