Pros

Global company, with the option to work in a wide range of sectors including defence and civil aerospace, nuclear and marine. Training available for engineers to be able to develop in an area that really interests them. Very good holiday and payment plan. Really good work ethic from most employees!

Cons

So many employees of certain ages that there are very limited routes to progression to higher levels (and pay grades) however if you pick the right area and work well the rewards are there. As with other technical companies there are employees that have particular knowledge to a process and so when they are absent or busy this can cause bottlenecks with work further down the line.

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.
