Great people to work with.

Poor Management. The people in charge do not communicate with each other so they give out conflicting orders or jobs that cant be done.

Thank you for the review and for the advice to listen to our technicians. We are working very hard to do that and, in fact, have an employee survey coming out for technicians in a few weeks. We want to continuously improve because we agree that the people at ATS are great to work with! If you would like to discuss further or give any additional input, please contact us at feedback@advancedtech.com. Thanks!

Pros

UK based, there are (or were) some brilliant guys to work along side on the technical side of things. My favourite thing about my time at ATS was that I felt like I was working every day with my mates which has to be a positive. A great safety culture that can feel oppressive but has all the best intentions.

Cons

The structure is completely made up with no room for progression or a clear promotion ladder. The salary is un competitive at all levels below ‘management’. There is certainly a “if your face fits culture” with particular people managing to get promotions to jobs they have no idea how to do because they’re the flavour of the month. What sums up my experience is that I was with the business for 4 years, when I came to leave I heard nothing from any management what so ever, they probably wouldn’t look you in the eye in the street. There is un deniably an “us and them” culture between management and the remainder of the work force. The company is far too top heavy with management, most of which nobody knows what they do. On the whole it’s is essentially ran like a dictatorship by the MD because the business is so small. Ultimately, although there were in my time some brilliant engineers to work alongside considering the management and higher ups you have to deal with I wouldn’t recommend unless you have very few options.
