One of the last vestages of heavy industry in Silicon Valley

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The coolest place that I ever worked. If you like heavy industry, this is the place to play with BIG TOYS. All the authority and responsibility that you want to grab.

Cons

Management structure in this plant is a shambles. No rules are hard and fast.

Poor morale - good car scheme!

Operations manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good car scheme, you are likely to be given autonomy within role, so you need to be a self-starter with thick skin

Cons

Poor morale due to frequent reorganisations, you never feel safe in your job! The parent company has a poor understanding of the UK workplace and markets
