Pros

Panoramic view from office Working with some nice people

Cons

Micromanagement at its finest. Though luckily my direct manager was lovely, I can’t say the same about her superiors. This company gives you low wages, long working hours and not much career progression unless you go down the surveyor route. The worst experience for me was they made me redundant strategically one month before 2 years of employment so they didn’t have to pay me redundancy. I had continuous good performance and this came out of nowhere at the start of the pandemic. Though they could furlough me to help, they refused to. I can only say to stay away from this company if you don’t want to waste years of your life. Their conduct towards me was vindictive to say the least. They are not inclusive and they tend to only hire and keep British people.

Pros

-the people -mostly easy-going -not a hard job -good actually entry level job -people are almost always willing to teach you something you are not sure about

Cons

-Schedule rigidity -almost no say in where or when you work (even though the company preaches this as one of its values) -the pay (didn't get a raise for the first 2 years I worked there and they were small rasises. Then told I was not being promoted after waiting 3 years for the promotion I was promised) -the favoraitism by management -the work is either a 100% or nothing to do -in office days tend to be highly stressful
