Prepare to be underwhelmed - Anonymous employee MAG-O Employee Review

Can't think of much. Some nice people work there.

Travelling to the airport from a city full of similar jobs is not ideal to begin with. You can also enjoy a below average salary for your efforts. The technology is ancient and has been forced through a modernisation that has made all their systems clunky and difficult to work with. The over-ambition and arrogance of the tech team is their biggest downfall, over-committing to new customers and then making the staff suffer for it, with deadlines that are unachievable and ultimately end up producing rubbish quality stuff; which predictably is then also the staffs problem, and you can spend endless days in meetings about why everyone is underachieving the impossible. The tech team are also run as a dictatorship with a leader than nobody has or has ever liked, who likes to act like he owns the airport, and enjoys pointing out everyone's failures and doing zero to support anybody. Luckily for me it was only a short stint, but one I wish I would have passed up on.

- Some good tech - Mostly great people

Where to begin? If you’re interested in working at a place with massively over-promoted leadership, people that piggy-back on top of great ideas and claim them as their own; MAG-O is for you! The people are great. Your colleagues are all super nice, and super helpful! MAG-O has some serious maturing to do, the people are extremely undervalued, underpaid and overworked. This all leads to frustration within the teams that actually do the work. More than 50% of the workforce has left in the past 18 months, none have been replaced and the expectations are still the same. In conclusion, avoid this company if you value your work day. Invest your ideas, passion and drive somewhere else. Other reviewers are totally correct. “Where morale goes to die” “Prepare to be underwhelmed”
