A decent organisation that offers rewards and opportunities for staff that engage with it's vision.

Support services

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Lots of responsibility and opportunity to progress - Humanistic approach - Hard work and performance is rewarded - Your opinion matters

Cons

The organisation is run quite lean so it is always busy and as such there is less time for reflection, communication etc. The company as a whole seems to be risk adverse due to the fact it is employee owned.

Very complicated relationships between the higher levels and very hierarchical

Graduate engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good if you want to take up and learn more about how to run a whole project. Salary after chartered seems to be pretty high. Some colleagues are pretty helpful

Cons

Technically pretty weak. Complicated relationship leads to unfair staff allocation Seniors being hierarchical and often unhelpful. High turnover rate, project handover is a total mess.
