Nice working environment, inefficient, bureaucratic

Anonymous employee

Pros

Nice environment, flexible working, interesting projects, good pension. Most engineers will enjoy it. Managers - depends what sort of organisational structure you enjoy managing in.

Cons

Stifling bureaucracy, inefficient. Excessive work is wasted on management reporting, estimating and planning to the nth degree. Target of zero time booked to overheads, so that people end up booking 'waiting time' (an overhead, due to low workload) to projects - the result is under-utilisation and inefficiencies are hidden and all looks good on paper.

Pros

Great atmosphere generally speaking. There are lots of company benefits. The flexible work time is great. There are lots of different projects to be involved with.

Cons

The salaries tend to be a little under what other companies offer for equal roles.

Pros

Good pension scheme and reasonable salary. Good quality people to work with.

Cons

Horrendous HR/Admin. HR is outsourced and I have had numerous issues with salary, pension and overtime etc. To be fair that is common with several companies I have worked with, but Leonardo's are the worst I've experienced.
