      Lacking in leadership and investment in the workforce

      Senior systems engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Diverse range of projects - Some of the staff are world leading experts in key technology areas

      Cons

      - Below average salary - Little to no career progression - No meaningful performance related pay or incentives - Lack of long term leadership and strategy causes the company to chase immediate goals, to the detriment of its overall market standing and workforce morale - Risk averse investment and product development process can be frustrating to work in; good ideas are seldom rewarded or acted upon - Little to no mentoring or succession planning, making it difficult to increase your skills or progress - More work than there are staff to do it, and the situation is only getting worse; individuals in key positions are expected to work excessive hours to get projects over the line, with no reward and often no thanks for their work

      Good place to start, poor place to stay

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Flexi time and leave. Good apprenticeship and graduate schemes. Good local management.

      Cons

      Progression is nearly impossible. It is not unusual to find people who have waited over ten years for an upgrade. There is a serious lack of investment which is noticeable in the staff, the IT equipment and the buildings in general. Salaries are below local average and do not compare to other local similar companies. Retention is poor. A heavy recruitment of graduates results in the middle people having to train people more while their workload increases as people leave. Once off the graduate and apprentice schemes, progression stops. Few training opportunities.

      Thank you for posting this review. Whilst it doesn't make for pleasant reading, we are keen to get the balance right between recruitment and retention, so welcome this feedback.
