It was ok. - Bus Driver Go-Ahead London Employee Review

Stable employment with regular hours. Opportunities to gain experience in a transport engineering environment. Friendly and supportive frontline engineering staff who are mostly passionate about their work.

Archaic Systems and Processes: Many of the internal systems are outdated, with a heavy reliance on manual paperwork and inefficient legacy software. Attempts at modernisation feel piecemeal and lack strategic direction. Limited Career Progression: There is little room for upward mobility, especially for administrative roles. Career development opportunities are not clearly outlined or supported. Low Pay for the Role: The compensation does not reflect the workload or responsibilities. Comparable roles in other industries or companies tend to offer better packages and benefits. Lack of Investment in Staff Development: Minimal training is provided beyond the basics. There’s a general sense that support functions are undervalued. Top-Down Culture: Communication from upper management is often poor or non-existent. Decisions are made without consulting or informing the staff they impact. Stagnant Environment: Most staff have been in the same roles for 5+ years, not because they’re satisfied, but because there’s nowhere else to go. Career progression is virtually non-existent unless someone retires or leaves. Nepotism & Favouritism: It’s hard not to notice that many staff seem to be related to each other. Opportunities for advancement often feel predetermined, making it difficult for outsiders to progress based on merit.

Flexible hours, friendly colleagues, skills for life, Enjoyed my time here tbh I took an apprenticeship and it’s been journey and I’ve enjoyed it a lot.

Sometimes in the hot your ac might not work or in the cold your heater might not work but can always call it in and the engineers will bring you out a new bus or fix your bus.
