Pros

Great culture. Everyone is really nice and rather flexible. Never had a manager who micromanages. As long as you get your work done you'll be fine. Energy is also an extremely promising field at the moment.

Cons

I have been with HE UK for the past three years now and have found it very hard to be placed in a role which I'd actually love and enjoy. Even speaking to other colleagues it is rare for management to let you really pave your own way. You feel more like you're just in your job to help do a task instead of feeling like you're creating a career. The pay is also way below market standard and for a company doing so well they are resistant to increasing salaries well.

Pros

The internship has been a genuinely good mix of research, engineering, and practical software work. I have been giving meaningful technical problems instead of busy work, with enough freedom to explore solutions while still having support from experienced engineers. The team culture is collaborative, thoughtful, and very open to questions. I have learned a lot about power systems, simulation software, high-performance computing, and how research ideas turn into tools that actually support engineering work

Cons

Like many large organizations, some processes can move slowly, especially around software access, approvals, and tooling. It can take time to get the full development environment set up, and working across different systems. That said, most of the issues are structural rather than team-related
