Thank you for taking the time to leave a thoughtful and balanced review of your experience so far. We are pleased that international project exposure, reward and a manageable workload have been positive aspects of working with us. We also acknowledge the areas you have raised around collaboration, regional alignment and benefits beyond base pay. We understand that when teams are distributed globally, building strong connections and shared ways of working can be challenging, particularly in predominantly virtual environments. These are important areas we continue to reflect on as we strengthen how our global teams collaborate and support one another.

Thank you for your review and for sharing a balanced perspective on your time with us. We are pleased to hear that pay, flexibility, social life and work life balance have been positive aspects of your experience, particularly over several years as a graduate engineer. We also recognise the challenges you have highlighted around management, resourcing and system transparency, as well as views on the graduate scheme structure. We know these topics matter to our people, especially those early in their careers, and we continue to listen and reflect on how we can improve clarity, support and development opportunities. We value your ongoing contribution and appreciate you taking the time to share this feedback.
