      Pros

      I've been working here for nearly 8 years. I'm genuinely proud of some of the projects we work on, and the scale of the organisation means I can find the person who worked on the job, and talk to them about it. Most staff are very friendly, approachable, and passionate about what they do. Of course sometimes this passion can bubble over a bit, but thats part of the fun of working with creative engineers. I like the flat structure of the company, and for a firm our size (close to 2000 world wide) seeing the MD appear and say hello is always nice. I still dont think we have reached our potential yet, but love working here, and hope to stay for a good few years yet....

      Cons

      It can be a bit chaotic. The company gives a lot of autonomy to staff, so it can be a sink or swim thing. Coming from a small company, it can seem difficult to navigate, and coming from a large one unstructured. Once you get your head around it, I think there is a nice blend of being able to find innovation and new ways of doing things that isn't stifled. It's not of course for everyone, but if you like to be challenged, its a good place to be.

      Pros

      Flexible work environment was great. They're pretty good on diversity.

      Cons

      Stressful work for sure, but I've heard it varies depending on your location. They do random layoffs.
