Great place with fairly poor "managers"

Pros

Great people, large facility, cafeteria, flexible hours and schedules (every other friday off), interesting work and most people care about doing a good job.

Cons

Overloaded with junior engineers and Managers that struggle with making decisions and mandate changes that are needed throughout the organisation. Good managers that support their people are few and far between, and not approachable nor supportive down the ladder (only concerned with keeping executives happy). Most experienced loyal people have left the company. The schedule for taking every other friday off is quietly frowned upon by many Managers.

Lacked coherence!

Pros

Good overall compensation package, with strong industry leading salaries, pension and sharesave schemes. Modern buildings with reasonable facilities and the benefit of working for a big name in the defence arena.

Cons

Too much Gov't lobbying - not enough real world solutions. There was a lack of leadership, direction and focus with an innate ability to turn good profitable business into inefficient, uncompetitive and isolated units. Strategic decisions were made very slowly and were often poor. A series of redundancies left the organisation without the requisite skills base to function effectively and morale was very poor for several years. Hopefully the situation has now improved.

Pros

large company and if you have no talent then you can join it and get to retirement

Cons

The package is has mandatory salary scarifies that you will have not agreed to when you start and there attitude is you should have not taken it. the company creams the pension rather then propping it up. they have dubious dealing including paying back handlers to customer friends to help wining contracts but cant even get it right to work. Some of the staff are really good but most are bums on seats and talent-less but sustain a position my cut throat means. which tends to mean if you have talent you will not last long unless you hide it. They do not win by latent but by crossing palms
