      Changing for the better

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The company has undergone a major transition from small to medium sized and is now advancing quickly towards really sizeable. With change comes challenge but I really think that we are making some genuine changes for the better. One thing we can offer is a genuine chance at managing a healthy work/life balance. There is no culture of presenteeism in the office which I find after working for the big 4 a welcome change. With BAE Systems (mother ship) at the helm its just helping us to go from strength to strength both in terms of strengthening our brand but also the opportunities for new markets, clients and individual role opportunitiies. There are things we could do better (which company can honestly say there isn't) but there is no doubt that is it an exciting time to work for this company.

      Cons

      We need to get better at the L&D we offer but we are looking into that in earnest to make sure we put something really competitive into place.

      Bright people, technical work, disrespectful and inconsiderate management and resourcing

      Technical consultant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The people are mostly very bright, young and sociable. The work is interesting for technically minded people.

      Cons

      Middle management and resourcing have zero respect for the personal lives of the delivery team. They make decisions that affect you without involving you first. They often tell bare-faced lies in order to manipulate you. Resourcing is haphazard, short sighted and not at all transparent. Pay and bonus review is not good.
