Pros

Some of the negative reviews on here are quite extreme and I wonder if the company’s profile is being trolled by someone. I worked here for a number of years and wanted to give a more considered review. Ingeus has strong values and approachable senior management who are respectful and genuinely care. You'll be in a team with great, fun people who work collaboratively. You are guaranteed to make amazing friends. Policies such as flexible working have recently been introduced and a good work life balance is encouraged.

Cons

The company has grown quickly in a short space of time. People who worked here when it was a much smaller organisation sometimes take business decisions personally rather than acting professionally. Whilst Ingeus is still a good place to work a some of the fun has gone as it has grown and diversified. There hasn't been a pay rise for several years. At the same time large dividends are paid out to shareholders. You’ll find that line managers are generally "nice people" but can lack the skills to properly manage and progress staff. You have to fight for your personal development, rather than training and progression being encouraged as a matter of course.

Pros

A team who truly care about making a difference in learners lives Everyone works hard to make it work and reach for 'Outstanding' An inspirational Director and Head of Delivery who understand the sector and what it takes to be the best Very competitive salaries Ingeus - Work hard to support the skills division and support our growth Ingeus - Provide me as a manager the tools required to do my best, an amazing company

Cons

Been through a lot of redundancies, however businesses are constantly changing and with change in this sector unfortunately comes redundancies. With this in mind I believe those who are made redundant would have taken a huge amount of skills and knowledge from Ingeus/Invisage to support them in another great role/company!
