Pros

Few that I can think of

Cons

Pay is below industry standard. Seems no motivation for reviewing engineer pay. Install bonus isn’t worth the time. Additional skills don’t lead to bumps in pay as they do elsewhere. Communication is poor at best. Promises made is recruitment stage not followed through on, only half my previous qualifications brought across and impossible to get them all reinstated here. If your face doesn’t fit the working environment is uncomfortable. Will be moving on within the next few months.

Pros

Some members of the company are the best people you’ll ever meet.

Cons

Genuinely a complete mess. Incompetent, passive aggressive leadership that repeatedly makes both poor and confusing company decisions. I have some absolutely crazy stories from things I’ve witnessed here. There’s things that are so bizarre and dysfunctional, they belong in an alternate reality.
