Pros

Benefits package canteen parking located in the county side

Cons

Avoid ;Aggressive bullying blame culture by management. Departments do not collaborate as have different goals so senior engineers try to lead engineer, project manage, raise orders, fight for resource, work night and day until you collapse from over work or are sensible enough to leave before hand. Management do not take technical decisions to avoid accountability. A engineer took his life who worked @ Pitstone due to work stress. Clean desk policy taken to the extreme - get marked down if u are found to have more than one personal item on your desk. You will spend most of your time reporting progress , up dating plans rather than engineering a solution. The best engineers have left.

Pros

Pay was probably the only thing. Nice people I guess

Cons

This place fired me after a month because I wasn’t progressing like they had hoped but barely had any generators for me to work on because they were so slow. Sometimes I would sit there for 10 hours doing nothing and told to look busy. Training was also pretty terrible as my trainer didn’t even want to train me. Don’t work here especially if you have your A&P. You deserve better
