Pros

The product engineering and variety. Our team.

Cons

No flexibility and getting worse with 3 weeks fixed summer holiday in 2026. Clock in and out and monitored to make sure we aren't clocking on the dot. The same for the chief engineer. Never get anything signed off in good time. Including travel. The management think it is ok to approve the day before.

Pros

Honestly, very few. Some colleagues look like friendly initially, but overall not much positive to highlight.

Cons

Very inexperienced and unprofessional team, with no real management skills. No clear direction or strategy due to lack of leadership knowledge. Inconsistent rules – different standards for different people. Extremely high turnover: people leave every month, and talent acquisition/retention is a serious issue. No flexibility to balance family and work life. No WFH policy, no flexible hours. Mandatory work on bank holidays and vacations are imposed when the company decides, not when employees choose.
