Pros
- Has some very talented engineers, most of whom keep the business competitive. - Working conditions are good and the people are friendly - Facilities are great and remote work is an option - Located in a great area of the UK - Opportunities to travel to interesting places
Cons
- Large, slow and mostly uninteresting projects, with an extreme amount of time put in to admin where it should and could be spent on engineering a better product. - The interesting projects are mostly too small to warrant larger teams, and these projects are always given to the same people. - No opportunity for progression - A severe lack of interest or understanding from immediate and upper management as to who brings value to projects, and who doesn’t. - Promotions are seemingly given based on a mixture of time served and personal relationships, rather than merit or experience. - Wages are extremely uncompetitive based on market rates
