      Pros

      Big work force with a lot of good guys to work with. Working on the Clyde during the summer months were good. Going out on sea trial was always a good experience.

      Cons

      Working on the clyde during the winter months could be hell. Not a lot of ways to progress through the company.

      Pros

      flexible working decent starting salary relaxed atmosphere

      Cons

      poor management poor progression too many 'yes' men (who are rewarded) innovation is discouraged (and this is coming from someone who won two chairmans awards for innovation) poor communication processes and sign-off loops are extremely restrictive 'thats not my job' mentality extremely silo-d workforce, even within the same project teams bullying and blame culture is rife graduates have a sense of entitlement poor performance management (I now someone who is tagged as an engineer, but a more realistic tag would be 'professional solitaire player')
