From a good company looking after its staff to a very bad company who is happy to see them leave

Senior field service engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good equipment, excelent customers, engineers a joy to work with and very conscientious. Excellent training school and staff.

Cons

Expected to drive excessive miles and work well above contracted hours, very poor backup with overstreached resources, not enough engineers, far to big an area, no more local prefered sites, total lack of understanding from management, Many engineers near breakdown expected to work 12 hrs + per day with no compensation, after 25 years I have seen the company change for a great place to work to the very worst, its so sad to see your customer base that took years to build up destroyed due to very poor management in a matter of a few years

Pros

. Agile working . Nice office . ok benefits

Cons

. There is a lot of office politics going on. If you aren't an extrovert and friendly with the right people then you won't go far. . There is a reluctance to accept new ideas . There is a lot of talk/meetings with not a lot actually happening.

Hi there, thanks for writing a review on your experience while working for us. It sounds like you found some really positives elements to your job, but also like you're not having the best experience yet and we regret hearing that. We'd like to recommend you talk to your line manager about what can be done to make your ideas heard. Thanks again for your review and for all the work you're doing for us.

Hello, first we'd like to thank you for taking the time to review our company as a current employee. It is unfortunate to hear that you've had a negative experience with your management. And we would like to recommend that you talk to your HR representative regarding this as well as the work hours.
