Pros

Belfast team are great workers and very friendly. 100% WFH was great.

Cons

Exegy bought out Vela. Ever since then pay rises became an issue. Exegy management make promises they do not keep, such as a pay rise by the end of July 2022. Exegy stated that redundancies were not going to happen and they did at least 4 people I know of. Pay rises for staff ranged from 0 to 8% despite the energy costs soaring. Yes zero percent! HR (when there was one) scarcely responded to any form of contact. Even now employees who left have not had a P45 when they left over a month ago.

Pros

Architectural Impact: helped the design and implementation of the comprehensive automation suite currently utilized by the Managed Services Department. ​Technical Collaboration: Benefited from high-level technical synergy with talented peers and gained significant experience integrating emerging hardware solutions.

Cons

Stagnant Workplace Culture: The internal environment was consistently taxing and lacked the morale necessary for long-term engagement. ​Coercive Resource Management: Management frequently leveraged layoffs to pressure remaining staff, using "team player" rhetoric to justify unreasonable increases in individual workloads. ​Structural Understaffing: There was a systemic failure to backfill vacated roles; despite repeated assurances that hiring was a priority, responsibilities were permanently absorbed by the remaining team. ​Compensation Inequity: I ultimately chose to resign due to a persistent discrepancy between my specialized output and my compensation. I was effectively performing the roles of multiple individuals without a market-rate salary. ​Retaliatory Legal Action: Since my departure, the organization has initiated litigation against me. This includes an affidavit from the CEO containing several demonstrably false statements regarding my conduct and professional history. ​Security & Ethical Concerns: Due to the organization's disregard for standard security protocols and ethical business practices, I cannot recommend them as an employer or a service provider.
