Pros

Mainly, the people there are great, friendly & hardworking. The ethos of Ted Happold used to be something to be proud of, but it’s just a joke now.

Cons

If your face doesn’t fit you can find yourself being shown the door, despite many years of loyal service and nothing but positive feedback. Shocking! Senior management are bullies; with little to no conscience or ethics. Morale is at an all time low, with unethical behaviour, by Senior HR, Executives and others in positions of power & confidence, being openly discussed by staff at all levels, & what’s worse, seemingly condoned by the Partners.

Hello, thanks for leaving us a review and for sharing your positive outlook. Creating a great working environment is really important to us and our employee well-being. Sustainability is an area we are exploring more and more with our portfolio now ranging from high-profile high-value projects, to local community based projects.

Pros

they have smart energetic talents that would like to perform at high level.

Cons

the company has ambitious goals, but their management style thrives on unstable restructure moves every year. it is a revolving door of young energy. The management is not keen to keep a staple platform for growth.
