Pros

5 weeks annual leave. Dont think it is even worth it considering they still expect you to read your emails and respond. Expect phone calls to instruct you to respond.

Cons

Kiss your work life balance and career progression good bye...expect: - Long working hours - Being micromanaged - Being bullied - Low pay with no career progression and development - Backstabbed - No help and any issues encountered will be used against you as incompetence in your performance. - Senior staff will openly criticise and demoralise you.

Pros

5 weeks leave Fun people to work with, Work on high profile jobs If you are a grad it is an excellent company to learn and to have on your cv Various high profile clients love working with NDY (I guess they haven't seen this site yet)

Cons

Very specific culture (you'll need to fit in) and discrimination, bullying and harassment (yes also sexual) is quite common and gets ignored if complained about. 'Old people' run the show within NDY and therefore NDY has quite a '90s work ethic (don't fall for the buzzwords you'll see popping up everywhere). The only way to get ahead is being friends with a director. Therefore people's job level has nothing to do with their engineering skills, just how good they are at drinking beers with the boss. Too many processes, you'll be stuck doing admin work at least 10hrs a week. Decisions of senior management often seem ad hoc and without any thoughts or long term vision. At least 10 year old systems and software to work with. Any new software is only implemented with the basics due to budget cuts and therefore impossible to work with. Very high staff turnover. They stopped having gatherings for everyone that leaves, but there used to be a farewell gathering nearly every week.

Pros

Covers the cost of annual membership to one Engineering Institution

Cons

Extremely high turnover of staff, poor quality projects, negative office environment, clients who do not respect the company which is consequently reflected during the project programme, unskilled management with poor people skills. Individuals do not advance for their technical skills instead it is relegated to who is in favour from management.
