Pros

The onboarding experience started even before day one. I had a pre-joining call with my manager after receiving my offer, which was really helpful for talking through expectations, challenges, and practical setup. I was also sent useful reading material in advance, which made starting much smoother. Colleagues have been genuinely lovely, welcoming, and collaborative, with a strong sense of belonging across the team. Flexibility is a real strength of the organisation. Many people are parents, and it’s genuinely encouraged and supported for people to take time for their families. Teams are understanding and accommodating when plans or schedules need to change.

Cons

Having joined during a period of leadership change, there has been some adjustment as new leaders settle in. That said, this has also been a positive as it has allowed me to grow alongside these changes and focus on building relationships with the current leadership team.

Pros

* Nice colleagues * Company seems to care about employees

Cons

* 2 companies in 1, thanks to a split in 2024-2025 * No directions, no structure, chaos everywhere, no career outlook. * health and safety hasards on main Watford site * Live on the ashes of 1970 * obsolete equipments, knowledge gone * Managers think you will stay at BRE for all the rest of your life, with no contingency to hire new talents. * Low salary (15k-20k below the market) * Expect Asbestos everywhere
