Pros

I joined Huntswood in September 2014, and can honestly say I have loved working here, which is a feeling you get throughout the office. Everyone makes an effort to integrate with one and other, regardless of seniority, making for a very friendly and relaxed atmosphere. At the Start of 2015 we moved into our amazing new offices, on our return from the new year party in Paris - its fair to say the staff here are fully rewarded for their hard work, and you really feel valued as an individual. Plenty of opportunities for personal development, with qualification sponsorship on offer, as well as numerous training courses. All in all, a great company to be a part of, a great environment to be in, and a great place to start a career. I would recommend Huntswood without question.

Cons

I dont feel there are an negatives or cons associated with working for Huntswood. Since joining, I have had nothing but positive experiences with the company.

Pros

Huntswood is a great place to work. Being a working mum the pressures of home life and work are always challenging, but the culture at Huntswood has always supported that. Over the years I have been on numerous training courses to develop my career here at Huntswood and I have always been encouraged to learn new skills and grow, which I have done. The people I have worked with over the years have really inspired me and Huntswood keep recruiting great people. I can honestly say it has been a pleasure working for such a fantastic company, working with passionate,honest and fun people. And on top of that, we now have amazing new offices!! :)

Cons

There aren't cons working for a company like Huntswood as they really do treat their staff extremely well. Which is obvious from the awards we have won, being placed in the top 100 Sundays Times best companies award - again in 2015!

Pros

The money is a decent day rate (though not as great as they make out as you don't get any benefits or paid time off). The interview process is straight forward.

Cons

This is not a job for anyone who needs security. You can be let go at any moment; and are under constant threat. Targets are unrealistic. Unnecessarily complex processes. The client doesn't care about the people that work there. All they are interested in is whether they are making their stats / targets. Senior managers on the project are vastly overpaid and are on a power trip. You are told it is a 37.5 hour working week but you soon find out the expectation is to work a lot more and to not leave until you have finished your 'target'. No rights as you aren't an employee.
