Pros

Cambridge site very professional and modern creates the right image. Some interesting work.

Cons

Save a penny to loose a pound mentality. Run by a bunch of bankers that have no idea how to run an engineering company. Short term mentality. Spreadsheet engineering - does not matter if the new product is working properly, just tick the box and ship it. Company is top heavy with egos, no senior management who actually know what they are doing and what it takes to design, develop and manufacture a high end technical product. Atrocious management who do not value their greatest asset - their staff. They have no respect for staff with experience of the product, they made their most knowledgeable and experienced technical staff redundant to save money in the short term.

Pros

Modern office. I love looking at my screen and plan how I can get out of here.

Cons

Total and complete mismanagement from the CEO down to the middle management. Every manifestation of mismanagement you can conceive is performed here. This company should be thriving instead it is just surviving (with the occasional dodgy accountancy practice helping to bolster figures). CEO and chairman are famous amongst shareholders for their ability to acquire and destroy perfectly good companies. CEO is immature and lacking the skills to manage any company. The Cambridge management team are some of the most useless and out of touch charlatans I have worked with. I would like to say it has been a pleasure to work here...but I would be lying. I have no confidence in the Cambridge management team making any sensible decisions. If you listen in the office you can hear people regularly mock the management (which shows every one else is thinking the same)
