Pros

New office in centre of Wakefield is an improvement over previous site. The engineering staff are friendly and approachable.

Cons

IT staff hide away from the main business, sitting behind a locked door and not approachable. IT Management have been embedded for years, and have built a team structure to support their position. A fundamental lack of understanding of the basic building blocks of IT. No adoption of even basic ITIL, a helpdesk system not set-up correctly, no inventory/asset history or staff data or change control. IT Management are arrogant and aggressive, bullying is common place. No visibility of strategic direction, no documentation or project managment.

Pros

Generally a friendly and supportive working environment, with the office and sector led by experienced engineers who bring strong commercial and strategic insight. There are plenty of project opportunities to build experience within the water industry, making it a great place to develop skills and strengthen your CV. Company promotes a diverse, inclusive and welcoming workplace culture.

Cons

Project delivery can often rely too heavily on graduate and junior engineers to meet deadlines, which can lead to high workloads and pressure on less experienced staff, as well as rushed QA processes. Project management quality can vary depending on the project, with differing levels of experience and capability. Pay is not great considering the level of responsibility and delivery pressure placed on junior staff.
