Pros
I have been working for JGA for almost two years now. The company has offered me a great potential to learn and develop as an engineer in a very friendly and social team, whilst being very flexible with my life work balance. Hard work pays well, with great salary and career progression potential at much earlier stages than other engineering disciplines. Working hours are good. Like all similar fields, there are times where a few more hours in the office are needed, however this is well appreciated and made up for with flexibility (within reason) to take paid time off for personal reasons (I.e doctors appointment). Due to being part of a much larger parent company, there is the best of both worlds, as there is potential to work in different offices globally, with an unlimited access to technical data and knowledge, whilst still enjoying the benefits of smaller companies such as opportunity to advance, flexibility, a more interpersonal work place culture, and being able to learn several different aspects of the business. Would definitely recommend to someone looking to become a competent fire engineer, and who would like to work for a respectable and ethical company.
Cons
None so far after 2 years.
