Pros

- Provides jobs in the defense industry. - Employs many contractors, giving semi-skilled people sources of income.

Cons

- Used to be a company that put people first when it was SA owned. - The MD makes all decisions in the company & disempowers people. - If a your manager feels you are not ideal to fit their agenda, HR will simply offer you a package to terminate your employment. You do not need to make mistakes for this to be warranted. They are happy to buy you out & have done it to me as well as many others. - If you want to take it to the CCMA, the company is content to lose & will "settle" with you there.

Pros

An onsite mess provides competitively priced meals. Training courses are paid for by the company. Approval times may vary...

Cons

Instead of paying a per diem for business travel, you will be required to spend your own money and make a claim through SAP Concur. They will then deny the claim and make it next to impossible for you to claim your travel expenses. All business travel is economy. Some of the hotels are nice though. Internal communications are via Skype for Business, which personally I find to be a woeful user experience. Management will decide that a particular qualification or course is required for an individual to conduct their primary role. They will then pay for the course, which is a process that can take up to and over 6 months to get through the over staffed HR departments. They will then expect you to complete the course in your own time, either by taking leave or attending night classes. Rather than hiring the required staff with requisite skills, training, and experience, management will regularly decide to save money on salaries, and expect unqualified staff to complete the work in a now compressed timeline.
