Little senior management support

Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent, dedicated colleagues at a non management level. Flexible working allows working from home, especially at times of personal difficulties.

Cons

Senior management only interested in covering their backs for a failing company since JV. Lip service is there for staff input but SLT show no evidence that they actually act on anything which is said. Under staffed leading to long hours being required.

Pros

Co-workers were very nice and everyone worked hard.

Cons

Very rigid culture. No time and no room to think. Not a place for people who are innovative and independent thinkers.

Lovely staff bad management

Project services team

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Really helpful friendly team, office is close to shops. Free parking if you can get in the waiting list for site parking ASAP. Chance to be in the right place at the right time to move up the career ladder if you come in at a junior level.

Cons

Management are terrible and not helpful or supportive. 75% of the office have worked there for under 18 months as the company has crumbled since the joint venture and the knowledge has run for the hills. Constant fire-fighting as staff overloaded with work, not sufficiently trained and then expected to train and mentor new staff when themselves have little experience - saving up more issues for the future. Once you get to a certain level in the company and are based outside of Edinburgh office seems to be little room for growth.
