Pros

Great bunch of engineers who are some of the best i have worked with.

Cons

Worked at ADT and overall the experience wasn’t great. Management was very heavy on micromanagement but offered little to no real support when it actually mattered. When issues came up, it felt like blame was pushed down rather than dealt with properly. I ended up injuring my knee while working and there was very little care or consideration around welfare. I should have been on lighter duties at the time, but was still expected to carry on as normal, which made things worse. There are some good lads on the ground, but the culture from management lets it down badly. You’re expected to get on with it, and if something goes wrong, you’re pretty much left to deal with it yourself. Needs a serious improvement in how staff are supported, both day-to-day and especially when it comes to health and wellbeing.

Pros

I've worked for the company for 40+ years, I'm treated with respect and my efforts are recognized by my Director and other ADT leaders. They give me the autonomy to manage my department and value my experience and insight. They offer a solid benefits package. ADT leads by example with their cultural markers and ensures that rules and laws are followed. I love the collaboration I have with our other departments.

Cons

Obviously, we all want more money, especially given the prices of everything, it's always nice to make more money, but I've checked the compensation and benefits in similar positions outside of ADT and I feel ADT is paying a fair wage and when I factor in the benefits package, they are above average in overall compensation.
