      Pros

      Company in expansion, new products coming along.

      Cons

      Very very poor management still placed in key places, mostly are from Rover times that have never worked for other companies. They behave in a dictatorial manner towards their subordinates, where I'm know more than you because I have xx amounts of years of experience in the house so don't argue with me otherwise I'll make your live miserable here. This sort of people still exists and is stopping the company to move forward.

      Peter Principle

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Conveniently located; decent pay and benefits; a lot of time off.

      Cons

      The Peter principle is an observation that in an organizational hierarchy, every employee will rise or get promoted to his or her level of incompetence. Executives say 'if you see something, say something' but they don't really mean it. If you don't have a good manager, you have no hope of succeeding at the company and there aren't many 'good' managers. A lot of favoritism.

      Manufacturing Graduate

      Pros

      Salary is one of the best outside of oil & gas / finance sectors. Some (although can be few and far between) fantastic engineers to work with and learn from. Work/life balance is OK - expect busy periods and some quieter periods, much like any other job I've ever had. Flexible working arrangements are possible, depending on your particular role. However, if you do ever work from home, beware of the obnoxious views from other older colleagues. Looks nice on your CV.

      Cons

      Small fish in a big pond syndrome. A lot of the promises the company sells at interview stage aren't true. You will not be able to influence what goes on in the company, instead you will be attacked with 'this is the way we've always done it' and 'oooh - that sounds a bit risky'. Despite my 2 years of trying, I'm sadly having to finally succumb to this attitude just to get on. Progress reviews and development plans have, in my experience, been useless. Objectives and goal setting are great, but there is no push to achieve anything outside of your job role and its all very generic and corporate. Travel and Parking is a disgrace for such a large corporation
