      Pros

      Team atmosphere. Specialty engineers are accessible.

      Cons

      Team atmosphere's days are numbered due to new "performance based" culture. Company talks a good game but does not back this up with actions. Feel like you're a character in one big Dilbert cartoon strip since being acquired by Bassell. Company does not develop its people. Pay is not competitive for industry.

      Pros

      Flex Time, but it is going away.

      Cons

      Try to everyone in the middle of pay scale, unless you are considered an exceptional employee

      Pros

      Precursor companies enjoyed a good reputation in the industry, which has not yet been destroyed. This makes finding a job elsewhere a realistic proposition. So many colleagues have left, that we now have a large ready-made external network, for job-hunting and the like.

      Cons

      CEO is taking too many micro-decisions, e.g. approving intercontinental travel. Why do we have an HR department ? Big decisions are not being taken fast enough. Senior staff are shown the door and nothing is said to the workforce. It is left to the rumour mill to spread the word. This is amateur and pathetic. Staff are left chasing ghosts.
