Going downhill !!!

Pros

Some great people to work with, with some great ideas. Benifits and salary is about the norm for this type of industry, training available when budgets allow a bit like everything else really.

Cons

Poor senior management, currently going through restructing to reduces losses. (starting with employees who have little control over costs) (example: loses £27m in six months, but spends £25m on travel) What sums this company up is when people ask "will I get a bonus or will this effect my promotion" when being told of layoffs" what do you think ? University educated my asre !! Obsessed with cost, everything has to have a cost code that can be used against a customer. So that means no developement at risk even through it could deliver greater profits, projects always run late and over cost. Uses inexpecienced project mangers, who lack team building skills and who see the customers as god.

Pros

The company is a well established company in UK, the diversity is good. People from different countries are working here. Some managers are very flexible, as long as you finish your work- they are happy. Work life balance is somewhat there We work on some of the niche technologies and high end projects

Cons

- No opportunities for growth - Poor increment and bonus - Perks are just standard - Some senior managers are very bias. They don't respect lower level employees. This has changed after new senior managers joined. They only talk about their previous company and always compare. - No travel opportunities or international exposure.
