      Good employer going through challenging times

      Senior program manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The range of roles Network Rail has on offer is huge and well compensated for an arms length government body. Roles range from large engineering projects to telecommunications operations.

      Cons

      The company is going through some challenging times resulting in lots of reorganisations and scarcity of funding. This means it can be frustrating getting things done.

      a place with an endemic alpha-male attitude towards staff

      Assistant project manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - good 'company' brand - multiple options for working locations (providing you are willing to relocate) - once you'll have grown a very thick skin, it's a job for life

      Cons

      - the company and management alpha-male attitude - you are treated as a pariah if you're joining from another industry because you're not a true, hardcore railway man - as I have always been told during my 15-month stint, "it's not what you know, is who you know"

      Talk the talk but.......

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good pension, hols, great facilities if you work in the Quadrant in Milton Keynes in a suit but if you are a lowly orange worker then you have to put up with third rate accommodation and facilities.

      Cons

      If you dare to speak your mind or have a view other than the mgmt, it's frowned upon. Keep your opinion to yourself and be a yes man and you will be ok.
