Pros

Interesting projects Good benefits e.g. sick pay, holidays Nice office environment and nice people

Cons

Lack of flexible working Woeful project management leading to preventable losses and dishonest reporting Unpaid overtime expected at ridiculous levels - one engineer regularly worked up to 20 hours overtime a week and rarely if ever took TOIL. This is expected and those who work only their contracted hours are penalised. Salary terrible for non-engineers

Hello Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback it is always appreciated. It is great to hear that you share our thoughts about the projects we work on. I'm sorry to read that you had not been able to participate in our flexible working practices and will look in to this further. We take all claims of dishonesty very seriously and would welcome your thoughts on what you had experienced if you would like to contact me directly to discuss this further. Our salaries are externally continually bench marked against the marketplace through a number of different sources. Internal reviews are conducted annually to ensure both technical and non-technical salaries are competitive and in line with our gender pay goals. Thanks again for your feedback, all the best with your future endeavours. Kind Regards

At the same time, we also take note of your feedback on our work culture and empathy towards our people. We are striving towards improving this with several initiatives this year - including open town halls, spontaneous floor feedback sessions and monthly meetings with all Line Managers to discuss key employee concerns and solutions. Additionally, you have our internal social media forums like Yammer and Rungway as well to express your ideas/concerns. Please feel free to reach out to your local HR Consultant for any specific concerns that need to be addressed.
