Pros

Great salary, awesome work colleagues, interesting clients and technical projects. Great science park. New buildings opening on site should hopefully solve the problem of lack of space and facilities

Cons

Management culture is very traditional - there is a general lack of transparency when it comes to decision making, poor communication with employees; company values client success over employee welfare and support. Promotion decisions are made behind closed doors and appear to be riven with unconcious bias. Little or no technical training - mostly on the job. Flexible working is better than it used to be (i.e. non existent) but still light years behind it’s competitors. Signs that attitudes are changing slowly. It was always stressful, challenging but rewarding work at TTP - but project teams have been over-stretched and burnt out for several years now. Currently everyone is packed in to the office space like battery hens, a poor open plan working environment Lab space and facilities are currently very poor compared to competitors - most hardware has to be bought on projects.

Pros

- Mostly great co-workers - Interesting and challenging projects - Building and facilities

Cons

- The “flat structure” is often used as a justification to push more responsibility onto people without corresponding salary or recognition - Salary bands and pay rises are a complete black box, with opaque and often arbitrary decisions made by people who do not know the individual or their contribution - Tenure and time served matter more than performance when it comes to progression and pay - High performers are frequently not recognised or retained, while underperformance is tolerated or even rewarded in some cases - There is a noticeable culture of complacency in parts of the organisation - Some elements of culture feel old-school and overly hierarchical in practice, despite what is stated. Outdated attitude towards flexible working - Many (senior) managers lack basic people management skills - There is very little meaningful training or development on offer - Multi-million-pound payouts to former shareholders make it feel like employees are working to fund someone else's retirement rather than being fairly rewarded for creating value - Feedback on these issues is often dismissed with comments like “grass is greener elsewhere” rather than being addressed
