Pros

Great culture. Everyone is really nice and rather flexible. Never had a manager who micromanages. As long as you get your work done you'll be fine. Energy is also an extremely promising field at the moment.

Cons

I have been with HE UK for the past three years now and have found it very hard to be placed in a role which I'd actually love and enjoy. Even speaking to other colleagues it is rare for management to let you really pave your own way. You feel more like you're just in your job to help do a task instead of feeling like you're creating a career. The pay is also way below market standard and for a company doing so well they are resistant to increasing salaries well.

Pros

Diversity and sustainability focus good. Global company with ability to live across the world.

Cons

Pay not competitive to market. Difficult to attract top talent with non-competitive pay. Company slow to make decisions and not clear how they want to operate. Recent reorganization/ restructure of organization as well as direction makes difficult for employees to understand where the company is going. Lack of communication down to the lower level managers and day to day individual contributors of how we are going to get to the 2030 plan goals lead to many employees not understanding where the company is going and why. Organization structure is so complex its hard to turn a ship around.
