Pros

Awesome cars. Good salary. Good maternity leave (for women). Very good company for engineers and technical recruits. Also holiday bonus was helpful

Cons

Very limited roles. Too rigid structure. Very unionized. Changes made to working hours during credit crunch was difficult for office staff

Pros

A few outstanding engineers with a good mix of technical strengths, commitment to deliver at pace and looks at the bigger picture and delivers new programmes at ease. Many seasoned managers doing their best to move the business forward.

Cons

There is no hands-on understanding of senior management and above on what it takes to deliver under current situation with changing landscape of tools and methods in PD. This is reflected on the fact that some managers and teams are struggling, getting burnt out and eventually fail or loose their will to live. There is very little put in place to build competencies, foster and nurture a motivated team. Senior Management and above is reactive with poor focus on planning - resource management, engineering spend management, infrastructure management (desks, computers, car parks, functional rest rooms). There is also a disproportionate numbers of do-ers and chasers. Chasers only want an update to report to shine in the light with little understanding of how the job is done and offer no support.

Thanks for your feedback. We recognise the challenges management face across the business caused by our rapid growth. Infrastructure and resources are being addressed with investment of over £3 billion in its products and facilities in Fiscal 2015 /16. This is to ease pressure, maintain our growth and allow management to focus on driving the company forward, including within PD.

Pros

Challenges, you're never bored or short of work. Variety, you won't do the same thing twice. You might do small variations depending on role. It's a successful, growing business. Opportunities arise regularly.

Cons

Workload is significant. In my team OT (paid & un-paid combined) is around 20%.
