Pros

Starting to slowly increase benefits but nothing market leading.

Cons

Average to low pension of 7%. Until you hit a senior level, you are not part of the “employee owned” model. Annual bonus is low. Below market remuneration - and they know it!!

Pros

Some interesting projects the company wins, when it decides to bid..

Cons

Poor salary compared to other engineering consultancies. Difficult to get involved in interesting projects as management wants to keep costs down rather than train and develop their engineers, so the work is outsourced to cheaper resources.
