Pros

Only one Pro. Made some good friends.

Cons

Every negative word you can think of would be written here. But to sum it up more precisely would be like this; Qinetiq ‘listens’ to it’s employees - yes they do, but Managers protect themselves at all costs You must never have your own opinion You must never question & prove favouritisms and nepotism in your team You must always expect to be micro managed & allow your team leaders to gaslight you in your personal space You must expect your Team leaders to hatch a plan if they have decided they don’t like you (because you’re far more knowledgeable at your job than they are) and rip up any anti bullying/ harassment policies & drop them from a great height so they can get their way. This is also aided by supposed ‘I’m here to support YOU’ HR staff who hide behind keyboards & do not wake up & see what’s actually going on here. HR ‘enable’ cover ups Team Leaders are only team leaders because of time served, not because of skill set or ability. Extremely Toxic environment - in the Onboarding & Employee Services where fat cats continue to be fat cats & write their own rules to suit themselves.
