Pros

Blue chip British company world renowned for engineering excellence where employees are given opportunity to develop state of the art and work at the forefront of emerging technology with excellent potential for career progression and development

Cons

Financial performance choked by bloated mid management hierarchy, at times delapidated buildings and IT systems and inefficient business processes. New Product development timescales slow. Often over complicates or reproduces bespoke solutions when existing off the shelf solutions to problems exist externally.

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.
