Pros

large employer in area pension above average

Cons

Ruled from the top. Management will not stand against ruling even when they disagree with it. Progression is limited. Hired with WFH when needed and flexible hours then removed.

Pros

- Plenty of engine design to go around. Lots of current product and future projects to get involved in. -Good training provided if cheap/free.

Cons

Where to start... - Never seen such a poor bunch of 'Principal Engineers'. Impeccably poor managers who couldn't organise a child's birthday party. - Huge amount of bullying with business unit. Expect to be thrown under the bus if you make a mistake. I was. - 'Mangers' do not care about you or how you feel. If you need help, you will simply be left to suffer. I did. - Company will lie and not adhere to its own policies, to protect its managers and not its staff members. Even if you are completely in the right. Managers will hide behind HR, and hope they can 'fix' there mess. - Managers acknowledge stress and bullying, but not willing to solve it, only let it get worse. Only happy to make it public and embarrass the employees and claim it's not an issue. - Poor engineering negligence, even on a basic level. - No real interest to development young talent. Only company I have ever seen this! - Managers need to allow competent staff to responsibility to undertake work, and not micro manage.

Pros

Salary at first glance, location

Cons

Terrible management, work environment, constant threats of firing and downsizing, picking favourites, lack of safe work space, one toilet for whole building, one tiny canteen, one water station. Disgusting
