      Poor leadership in Asset Information Services

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Nice offices, good pay, good holiday, good pension

      Cons

      Rubbish management stems right from the top through to the lower management. Dreadful senior leadership team. Morale terrible, avoid AIS department and you'll do great at Network Rail. Bullying is also common place in the company if your face doesn't fit. Speaking up and challenging is frowned upon as the management think they are superior.

      Thank you for your honest review.. It's always difficult reading about a poor experience. We're working hard to remove bureaucracy and the Putting Passengers First programme is proving lots of opportunity for devolved decision making, something that we have seen really come into it's own during the COVID 19 crisis. We hope that sometime in the future you might consider a return to Network Rail but in the meantime we wish you every success for the future.
