Pros

Great staff who are professionally competent and motivated to deliver the best to clients.

Cons

New directors being hired with new strategies constantly being implemented with no understanding of the work we actually do. No loyalty to staff where in the good times bonuses are delivered just to the Directors. In the bad times HR being the busiest department moving from business to business inflicting redundancies with no appreciation of loyalty, effort or length of service for the company. The Shareholder is king in Atkins. Profit and margin matter, not employees.

Pros

There was a lot of support and a fantastic company culture/office environment. Got the chance to work on multiple different projects and develop both technical and non - technical skills. A lot of very interesting projects, both short and technically demanding, in comparison to a lot of the other big engineering consultancies. Fantastic at ensuring you push towards becoming chartered.

Cons

I think that the salary and career progression after becoming chartered is not great. Also it is not as easy to switch divisions as you would have thought.
