Pretty Uninspiring

Pros

It pays very well for a pretty easy job.

Cons

Didn't consider matching my best skills to a suitable job role leaving frustrated in a job that I don't want to do. The traffic onsite and offsite is appalling. Departments don't work together at all. Work is not remotely stimulating, lots of menial tasks and repeating work that has already been done. Seems to be an expectation from some people that you should be grateful to work longer than contracted for.

Pros

A few outstanding engineers with a good mix of technical strengths, commitment to deliver at pace and looks at the bigger picture and delivers new programmes at ease. Many seasoned managers doing their best to move the business forward.

Cons

There is no hands-on understanding of senior management and above on what it takes to deliver under current situation with changing landscape of tools and methods in PD. This is reflected on the fact that some managers and teams are struggling, getting burnt out and eventually fail or loose their will to live. There is very little put in place to build competencies, foster and nurture a motivated team. Senior Management and above is reactive with poor focus on planning - resource management, engineering spend management, infrastructure management (desks, computers, car parks, functional rest rooms). There is also a disproportionate numbers of do-ers and chasers. Chasers only want an update to report to shine in the light with little understanding of how the job is done and offer no support.

Pros

Excellent pay, sick pay, generous holidays. Rewards incompetence.

Cons

Advancing is hard. Employ promote friends rather than best people for the job. If your good at your job you get stuck on it, However if your not good they put you on easy jobs.
