Good Pay, But Outdated Culture
Pros
Competitive salary compared to industry standards Stable job security with long-term projects Free on-site parking and a share purchase scheme
Cons
Siloed & Blame-Driven Culture – The company prioritises project performance over developing strong teams and relationships. Flawed Decision-Making – Leadership often lacks the right information to make sound decisions, leading to project planning based on guesswork rather than facts. Forced Office Attendance Without Proper Support – Hybrid working is being reduced/removed to help 'build relationships', but they don’t invest in other ways to build relationships suggesting their reasons are not honest. The additional office time isn’t accounted for in workload planning, so employees will end up working extra hours to compensate. Outdated Office Facilities – Despite pushing for more in-office attendance, many working spaces are old, uninspiring, and poorly maintained. Basic amenities like decent toilets, break areas, modern equipment, and comfortable working environments are lacking. Rigid Benefits & Lack of Perks – The benefits package is basic for a company of this size. No meaningful wellness programs, no personal development funds, no volunteering days, and bonuses are difficult to achieve fairly. “This Is How We've Always Done It” Mentality – Innovation is discouraged by excessive processes, making it difficult to introduce new ways of working.
