Pros
- Innovative engineered products - Values driven company which looks after its staff - Reward and recognition scheme is very good, especially pension scheme - Subsidised canteen which offers fresh food every day at low prices - Excellent training and career development opportunities - Friendly atmosphere with helpful colleagues - Very healthy sales order book with plenty of engineering projects for the future - Proactive innovation and r & d function, Spark Works are awesome - Structured & process driven engineering team which I really like - Rob in recruitment team was very helpful during the onboarding process - Good management structure in place
Cons
- It is a large business so very different environment to SME so has been a bit of an adjustment from my previous roles in much smaller businesses - There are a lot of doors to go through when moving around the site, although it is a defence company so to be expected - Some of the systems can take a bit of time to get used to but generally ok - SC clearance can take a bit of time to come through which results in a slightly longer recruitment process but I did receive regular comms throughout so wasn't too bad to be fair. Again it is a pre-requisite requirement if working for a defence company.
