Pros

Flexible clock-on/off hours Good experience for future GIS Technician roles Use of social media on work computers Staff parties

Cons

As an employee I was majorly misinformed- With 5 months left on our contracts, Cyient Reading office laid off 50+ staff with 4 working days notice after reassuring everyone that we would remain in employment until the end of our contract. Was "promoted" without a pay rise and made to come in to work out my notice when others on my pay grade were allowed to not come in whilst receiving pay. Had to battle with superiors to receive fair treatment. Had a team leader who was abysmal at communication and made the office feel like a primary school. No holiday/sick pay £10 per week agency fee Miss-sold salary

Thank you for your feedback. I’m disappointed that your experience at Cyient didn’t live up to your expectations. As the Head of HR, I’m personally going to take this up with management to avoid future issues as we really want talent like you to enjoy their time with us.

Pros

Easy work very relaxed environment but is heavily dependent on client site and manager.

Cons

Pay is not transparent. Even if the pay rate would come out to 75k a year between client only unpaid holidays and small amount of time off only 2 weeks a year. My total gross income has been closer to 60k a year
