Pros

Great group of people to work with, this was one of the best company's I have had the pleasure to work with.

Cons

Not really much to say about this... the only issue is the long shifts, but that is the nature of the beast.

Thanks for taking the time to submit your employee review. To address your concerns around Onboarding new employees - You may or may not be aware, but we have created a new team dedicated to looking after candidates from the point of verbal offer to their first day in the office and up to 100 days in situ. They are engaging with the candidate and their new manager to make sure that everything is in place for a much smoother start to their role. We have also created a bespoke portal for new joiners to communicate with one another prior to joining, so that they already have a network on day one.

Pros

Busy and bustling with work.

Cons

Processes are out dated. Senior management needs more project management professionals and less retired naval officers who are the authors of the problems in naval ship repair. ERP is broken. Management salaries are a con for those forced to work 70+ hrs per week.
