Pros

Free parking Free drinks from vending machine

Cons

Avoid this company like the plague Too many managers Not enough staff No pay rises Over burdened with work Forced to work weekend overtime - no one will take weekend shifts as no one wants to work them Don't pay you for overtime worked during the week Engineers unable to do jobs you give them due to lack of parts Poor communication between staff and departments Couldn't organise a drink in a brewery Poor training Uncompetitive pay Low morale Management happy to delegate work but unable to do the work themselves Had people from completely different departments try and dump their work on me when they were due to go on holiday even though I've never been trained for their work No one covers your work when you go on holiday It's a pain to try and take holiday Unable to take more than 1 weeks holiday if you work in the office Management and directors live in la la land and have no idea how bad it is for anyone who isn't in a Management or director position.

Pros

Got a lot of hands on experience working autonomously. Everyone in the department was also very friendly and helpful.

Cons

My internship duration was somewhat short which caused me to work on several projects that I did not get to see to completion.

Pros

Hybrid and working from home

Cons

Holiday, pension, death in service. They’re about all the benefits you get. No sick pay. No Xmas celebrations. No Easter celebration. Quick exit redundancy. Pay average. No incentives. No overtime. If you work over there’s no extra pay or option to take as holiday. Heavy workload. Lack of support from management. Training via teams and limited. Not very friendly. In my opinion it’s a company stripped to a skeleton staff and in trouble financially in the UK
