Pros

Reasonable salaries and ability to earn every 4th Friday as leave by making up hours during the month

Cons

Mechanical Engineering not what makes the company competitive. Did not feel there was a strong team spirit and no real passion or enthusiasm from management.

Pros

The flexible working times are great and means you can attempt to avoid the traffic. The on-site gym is basic but the staff there are really helpful and it is great value at just over ten pounds per month. Interesting projects and the potential to work across sites. Did deliver bonus for hard work on recent project and has increased overtime threshold to over £40k now, which means I can now claim overtime!

Cons

Traffic to basildon site is rubbish, but can be avoided somewhat with flexi. Getting training is hit and miss because of money limitations, however management is keen to help even though they can't always deliver. A lot of people were unable to start work on live projects due to issues with the parent company and budget allocation. Twiddling thumbs is a not a good way to start a year.
