Pros

Flexi time Healthcare and pension benefits Great colleagues Might be appealing to grads to put some interesting customer’s name in CV

Cons

Embarrassing. There is a very simple concept that the management misses. The focus is only on numbers and cost reduction, with hardly any investment on trainings, career development, fair pay rise. Consequence: very demotivated employees who don’t strive to do their best and leave the company after a few months. Consequence: low productivity, higher recruitment costs, handover costs, unsatisfied customers due to high employee turnover. Consequence: further cost reductions…and the cycle continues. This company is doomed to fail if no one at top management level takes action. There is not even one employee in AKKA UK who is not frustrated, isn’t this a failure? It’s time for the top management to start asking themselves if they’ve been doing a good job and if they deserve the role they cover.

Worst place to work.

Pros

Flexible hours and great colleagues.

Cons

Horrible management that lies about everything and has zero integrity. Virtually impossible career progression and a lot of behind the scenes politics. The management pushes all company targets onto engineers and make engineers commit to solving management issues, including "reduce sickness leave" and "increase gross margin" and "reduce attrition rates". They also have unrealistic targets of growing the company to 1000 people by 2022 whereas the current numbers are less than 100 and 25% of full time employees have quit between Jan-Aug 2019.

Pros

Aviva cover and pension, includes dental cover.

Cons

No training, left to the client to be trained, no progression, no help from HR, borderline kleptocratic senior management, engineers are burned out and left on their own without help from managers
