High Stress / Understaffed

Pros

Some lovely colleagues to work with. Ken, MD, is friendly and down to earth. Easy to approach.

Cons

Extremely high stress levels. Unnecessary stress at that due to: Never enough staff to cope with workload - just one or two engineers being off unexpected means backlogs and chaos for the rest of the team. Salary did not reflect work expected. Observed issues with staff attrition rate. No training provided No performance reviews / No progression path identified Unpaid overtime expected to cope with demand / no TOIL facility. “Your queue is yours to manage”.

Pros

Good tech, opportunity to learn Co workers are great Some okay benefits Experience can be gained fast if you don’t mind getting dropped in the fire and can run before you crawl

Cons

Management don’t care about their staff or their opinions. Suggestions for changes are disregarded or scoffed at. Too many managers with oversized egos and personalities. No clear direction as managers or directors like to change things at the drop of a hat and don’t communicate it until it’s too late but they will still pat themselves on the back. Overtime is expected and not rewarded unless “pre agreed” which most of the time is impossible because there is too much work and not enough people so you’re forced to work overtime and you won’t be thanked. Mistakes will be held against you and interesting or new work denied because of said mistakes but they won’t do anything to help you prevent them in the future. Salary reviews are few and far between. Difficult to get a raise despite the initial pay not reflecting the volume of work. Pay gaps between people in the same team for the same work are ludicrous, sometimes 10k+. If you bring this up you will be shot down. Archaic thinking - working from home or flexi time before the pandemic was utterly denied and never considered. They will pay for exams but not for courses. You have to spend your life doing work if you want to progress.
