Had great opportunities to push myself outside my comfort zone as well as networking with a range of stakeholders and employees of the company.

At times there were significant lulls in workload but there are opportunities when you ask for them!

Challenging but rewarding place to work

Principal technical officer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Under the right manager you can get opportunities to develop and grow throughout your career. Network Rail is keen to deliver the best for its customers and employees. Varied work with a lot of support towards work life balance. Great benefits such as Gympass which offers massive discounts on local gyms.

Cons

So many departments within the organisation with opposing agendas. Due to the demand of highly skilled frontline staff it becomes difficult to recruit and often vacancies are open for long periods of time.

Business Outlook

Pros

Clear pathway of career progression. A competitive salary. Flexible working arrangements are great. Annual leave, sick pay, pension are all much better than an average company. You are looked after very well.

Cons

Currently in a reorganization which is being dragged out months at a time, bringing uncertainty for employees. HR department is a awful, especially when trying to get new starters in.
