Pros

Very good exposure to a variety of projects. Provides a good opportunity to learn and develop, especially at the beginning of your career. It is also a very young company, with quite a few socials being organised after work (pizza nights, board games, etc.).

Cons

Salary is on the lower side of what the industry pays.

Thanks for your review and we're glad that you enjoyed working on a range of projects with us. I hope you also took part in some of those social events too. Whilst our salary isn't the highest in the industry, we do work hard to remain competitve in terms of salary but also with a range of benefits including a strong persion offering. I note you're not with BuroHappold right now but I hope as your career progresses you do consider rejoining and working on that broad range of projects again. All the best.

Hi There Thank you for sharing this feedback. I am disheartened by the Cons listed here and would encourage you to get in contact with either line manager, your HR representative, a member of our Young Engineers Forum or myself to discuss these in more detail. There is of course our internal Rungway platform if you would like to seek some broader views and guidance on your experiences. Employee experience is of great importance to us and so your feedback will be welcomed and valued. It's vital we understand more about what may not be working for someone, so we can work with them to ensure things improve, for everyone. We are keen to learn and help. Many Thanks

Pros

Great opportunities to further your career on exciting and innovative projects. Not a lot of hierarchy. Friendly staff who are there to do great engineering.

Cons

Frustrating to see the same old project management issues causing same old problems on projects. Hard to work part-time with "just get the job done" culture.

Hello Thank you for sharing your feedback, it's great to see reviews from those with such a wealth of experience of the business as yourself. It's encouraging to hear your views about our career opportunities and projects. We always welcome feedback on matters that may be proving more frustrating however, as without this we are unable to learn and develop. I would be very happy to meet to discuss your points relating to project management issues and in particular those relating to working part time. Thanks again for your time and honesty.
