Pros

The projects and work can be very engaging and rewarding. Pay and holiday are ok and work/life balance is very good. Long contracts/strong order books provide good job security.

Cons

Management with poor technical knowledge often waste good engineering resource. Blatant favouritism undermines staff moral. Few career opportunities without "networking" - culture of "It's not what you know it's who you know"

Working with great people makes such a difference day to day – it's good to hear that's been a real part of your experience. We hear you on internal progression – career growth can feel different for everyone, and we know we've still got work to do to make development paths clearer. Feedback like yours really helps us move in the right direction.
