Pros

Unfortunately I can't something to actually say in a positive manner about working here... I got paid every month is about the highlight.

Cons

Managers want to be managers and directors want to be directors without doing what the title demands. The company has tried to promote a new management system but the current management want a hybrid of their outdated methods with the modern instruction, in short ignoring anything modern and staying in the 80s. Wages are poor, workload unstructured, no social events, even the Christmas lunch gets minimal donation, pay rises are based working well over the contacted hour for free.... Don't expect renumeration to reflect this, that money goes to the top.

Pros

Company has perfected the low overheads which make rates competitive to clients. Some of the staff have quality experience, but cheap rates makes them look undervalued

Cons

Management is over run with poorly trained and poorly experienced individuals who happen to have been with the company a long time. Project work is very ordinary, not a place to become an engineer with outstanding experience. Overtime is expected on all projects for most of the time. Pay is low. Talent is not recognised. Office is lack luster and not exactly a place to take clients. Managers are more interested in browsing the internet than listening to a staff members problems. Senior directors are very difficult to work with, set unrealistic targets, that cause considerable stress to all those lower in the company.

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.
