Disappointing

Pros

Hybrid working is flexible and works quite well. There are some very good engineers and technicians working here.

Cons

Senior design leads are entirley absent during project lifespan, Will step in at the eleventh hour to assess damage. Workload is spotty at best and management will bizarrley rebuke the lowest level employees for this. Senior 'management' spend more time reconfiguring team organisation charts and creating new job titles than actually guiding staff or managing projects. Making staff redundant with zero prior indication of performance issues or any feedback whatsoever, An HR department who appear to revel in this process. Cliquey work atmosphere. If you don't fit in then you're going to have a difficult time of it imo.
