Pros

NR is an engineering company that offers many many opportunities. I manage projects that are pan business and no two projects are the same. Safety is the main concern for NR and everything customer related is taken with care.

Cons

Moved out of London and in Milton Keynes. Salaries have fallen and no longer London competitive.
