      Pros

      Standard week is 35 hours. Flexible hours start between 6am and 1pm and work a minimum of 5.25 hours plus 45 min lunch Monday to Thursday and 4 hours no lunch on Friday. Some home working possible but varies job to job, depends on role and manager. Good benefits can 'buy' and extra weeks holiday. Childcare vouchers, cycle to work scheme.

      Cons

      Set up and operation is poor. Allocation of budgets, random cutting of budgets, booking codes a nightmare. Finance dictate bad ways of operating, every department used a different tool and 2 or 3 departments all thinking they are running the budget for a project... No control, ridiculous amounts of time lost to just working out what's going on with the money when it should all be transparent. A lot of managers are more in keeping with the 1950s than 2010s. Not always clear how to progress. HR are hopeless

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Plenty of opportunities to work on some interesting, major space projects. Nice, generally supportive co-workers (though some are a bit strange!). Flexi-time system helpful (when you can take time off, that is). Pays well.

      Cons

      Constant high pressure with unrealistic commitments made to customers. Too many lost weekends and long days spent in fire-fighting mode. Portsmouth site feels looks like it's on a downward spiral with no investment and people leaving not replaced. Archaic IT systems and processes which act as a daily impediment to getting work done. Complex hierarchical organizational structure which has got worse since the previous Astrium days,
