Pros

I have been with the company for 8 years and my experience has consistently reflected strong, effective leadership. There is a clear top-down commitment to our values and our colleagues, where senior leaders not only listen to feedback but also take visible, meaningful action in response. Professional development is a genuine priority here. I am currently undertaking my second apprenticeship, with sustained support and encouragement from each of my managers throughout. The organisation provides substantial opportunities to progress, acquire new skills, and learn on the job. Since joining, I have also transitioned into a different department, which has allowed me to expand my knowledge in an area I am now truly passionate about. The company actively facilitates career progression and supports colleagues in pursuing paths aligned with both organisational needs and individual interests. Overall, this is a workplace that invests in its people, fosters inclusivity, and creates an environment where long-term professional growth is both supported and achievable.

Cons

A very fast paced business, may not be for everyone!

Pros

Great coworkers and talented engineers who genuinely support one another. Opportunity to work on impactful projects and solve real business problems. Exposure to modern BI and data technologies. Strong team members who are willing to go above and beyond to deliver results. Good learning opportunities for self-motivated individuals.

Cons

Leadership and management style can create unnecessary stress and turnover risk. Frequent micromanagement and excessive focus on responsiveness rather than outcomes. High meeting volume reduces time available for focused engineering work. Priorities and stakeholder commitments are sometimes established before consulting the engineers responsible for delivery. Limited trust in experienced employees and their ability to manage their own work. Internal growth and mobility can feel restricted. Work-life balance can be impacted by shifting priorities and urgent requests. Lack of recognition or compensation alignment when additional onsite expectations or workload demands are introduced. Having a non-technical BI manager overseeing technical engineering work can sometimes result in unrealistic timelines, misunderstandings of development complexity, and decisions being made without sufficient technical input.
