Secure job, process heavy, a bit old fashioned

Engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Really interesting technology, lots of resources, good work life balance and good salary.

Cons

Process heavy sometimes preventing engineers getting the job done. "Sloping shoulder" attitude where colleagues dump their work on you (mainly cause most engineers are stretched). Boys club culture, a lot of unconscious bias and a few outdated attitudes. E.g. people complain about positive discrimination when their are 90% white men in technical roles is a bit bonkers. Not unusual for women to change departments due to a few misogynistic bad eggs, HR aren't active in supporting issues. Issues generally hit a ceiling and aren't resolved.
