Weir Group reviews

Everything! Outdated facilities and outdated mindsets. As a senior manager there myself I tried to bring them forward but ultimately it was beyond their understand and didn't fit their hitler style regime! The biggest issue is the inexperience of the senior management. Roles often go to the wrong people - junior, lacking in experience - but based not on skill but instead filling a minority gap so to speak or cheap.....a bit like their product quality and investment! HR is a joke - waste of time and think they can leave people hanging after conducting successful interviews for months - then are "shocked" when the person finds employment elsewhere! The harder you work at this place to "try" and pull them forward the more they regress and faulter! They rattle on about safety - but in reality even basics are not covered - simple things a normal person knows like smoke alarms tested (not done for years) and fire systems in an inoperable state of repair.....but the reality is the company attitude towards people is the worst I have ever seen. Generally a "tick the box" style of company with no depth.

Owned by the Weir Group in Scotland, who is quite distant from the operation, other than to constantly demand more profits. Has been acquisition crazy and has consolidated many businesses to increase profits, at the expense of the employees. Quite topheavy with layers of self centered executives who like to abuse people.
