Pros

Interesting engineering/science, friendly and relaxed working environment. Good bonus scheme, pensions and shares. A global company that has the potential to give exciting career.

Cons

Huge under-investment around certain parts of the business has lead to some departments massively under-resourced for the work they need to do. Pay is low considering the hazards and risks. Career progression too dependent upon whether you were on the graduate scheme or have a senior manager backing you. The career planning is very poor.

Pros

If you are lazy, this is the place for you

Cons

If you are somewhat competent, don’t worry, management doesn’t care. Employees are part of their politics game. From orders delay to customer complaints, management’s resolutions are to put in more tedious complicated system and lay off actual workers. Constant restructuring every 6 months with no idea what they want. Base pay is below average. Not sure why investors are still investing and why customers are still buying. I would give 0 star if I can.
