Pros

Exposure to interesting and technically advanced projects • Talented and hardworking colleagues at individual contributor level, particularly the technical team! Hard workers. • Opportunities to build resilience and independence • Industry relevance provides career mobility elsewhere

Cons

• Senior leadership is manipulative, inconsistent, and selfserving • Culture of dishonesty, shifting truths, and blame-shifting creates confusion • Employees are undervalued, ignored, and disrespected despite their contributions • No real accountability or support structure; constant fire-fighting is the norm • Morale is extremely low and turnover is high, which further destabilises delivery

Pros

1) Smaller company feel with more opportunities to advance your career faster than a large company. 2) Generally positive changes from leadership the last 3 years. 3) Growth outlook for all sites is very good. Current ownership is focused on growing the business.

Cons

There has been a lot of change over the years - acquisitions and leadership changes. The company will be sold again soon. However, Advent doesn't like to sell to sharks who will steal the technology and let go of the people. Advent has a reputation to uphold in that regard. A lot of the negative reviews came from sudden culture changes a few years ago. Many benefits and policies are now in line with industry standards, for better or worse.
