Pros

Some nice people, nice office space to work from, flexible working hours

Cons

- Clueless senior management from the top down. - bullying is widespread and when it’s reported the people who reported it are moved on so that Unispace senior management can pretend bullying is not happening within the business. - people in positions they shouldn’t be in as they do not know what they are doing - zero business strategy throughout the company - owned by a private equity company who know nothing about the industry, so have unrealistic expectations - company hasn’t won a competitive tender in over two years and has no work and no pipeline. Company will probably be shut down in 1-2 years or sold off cheaply to another private equity firm - internal polls are shocking showing over 50% of employees are unhappy, want to leave and would not recommend the business to a friend. This is then not addressed by senior management - lots of redundancies and not many people left. AVOID JOINING MUCH BETTER OPTIONS OUT THERE

Pros

Unispace is for lack of better words, a "Design-Build" company but it is really so much more. You get to sit, as a designer, with your fellow estimators and builders and build a better mousetrap. I have learned so much about actual construction processes, means, methods, costs and best practices since moving to Unispace. It is fast paced and no one wears one hat so you never get board. It is truly a mecca for a pro-active doer who wants to break convention and do something better.

Cons

It is fast-paced....not for the faint of heart. Also, as a global company with a national team that operates as one, sometimes communications slip between cracks.

Pros

Some good people, but that’s changing quickly

Cons

No clear company strategy. Top management changes all the time. Sales funnel is particularly weak. Work environment is toxic and highly inefficient.
