Pros

Some amazingly gifted and talented individuals creating and delivering world class products

Cons

Lacks any progressive thinking. Has a culture with a central ethos to rule by fear and consequence. Sees workers instead of talented individuals able to make autonomous decisions. Discriminatory at its very core, no care for the whole person or anyone deemed different or a minority in any way. Small minded executive team too scared to try something new

Pros

They pay you on time

Cons

-Highly inflexible -duel standards for different departments generally engineering are at the bottom of the pile regardless of the fact they are the most valuable people in the company. -no credit for working hours extra and expect to be reprimanded if a minute late. - if you leave on time people will think bad on you. -canteen overpriced -making thousands of employees redundant then making them 2 days after claiming they have a multi-million pound American military vehicle order. -slow progression only expect a promotion if someone retires - toxic atmosphere

Pros

It’s good to work here before June 2020.

Cons

Atmosphere is totally spoiled after huge on roll employee lay-off in June 2020. Lost whole Reputation in market. It treated Permanent employees like a simple MIDC manufacturing workshop. No Job security at all.Can fire any one at anytime giving no reason and can spoil once carter in a minute. Does not care about employees . Brand image is totally disrupted. Earlier it used to be respectable now it’s avoidable .
