QinetiQ – “Interesting Work, but little structure for graduates”

Pros

get to work on some of the most interesting projects in the country in a relaxed atmosphere with genuine world experts.

Relaxed atmosphere means nobody is counting 9-5s just really care about the work that gets done.

Cons

There is limited opportunity for young people to move quickly through technical roles, with a time served attitude to promotions.

Advice to Senior Management

Be more honest with the staff as to how you see the company in 10 years time. The feeling that secrets about future plans are being held back from staff is common.
