Pros

Nice engineers to work with. Company mainly does installs and servicing now. A good place to do little work and get paid because management don’t have a clue what’s happening. Was a good company to work for 5 years ago, less so now.

Cons

Managers haven’t got a clue. Never show up to site, only exist on teams. Always shuffling around and never really implement any substantial change. They make it more and more difficult to go through their levelling process.

Thank you for your review. We are glad to see the 5 stars and read that you had a good experience working at Hyperoptic. Thank you as well for the feedback on bonuses and salary, it's important to us to know what employee and former employees think should be improved. We do have an annual salary review process, designed to ensure fair remuneration based on job performance and market standards. However, not every review results in an increase, as it depends on various factors that are defined for each review cycle. The same it is for the bonus, which is based on performance. Thanks again for your review, the Culture and Engagement Team

Pros

Shared workload, good hours, easy to learn network

Cons

Poor career progression, management don't listen to complaints or issues, a "seniority is always right" attitude that doesn't encourage collaboration or ideas

Your comments around career progression are something we would like to discuss more with you - please do reach out. We have rolled out a lot of work across the engineering workforce focused on bringing clarity on career pathways and what needs to happen to make that progression. Our culture is very much focused on working smarter. together which means sharing feedback, working on problem solving together so its not pleasing to hear your comments around ideas being discouraged. Please do get in touch as we would love to discuss your comments in more detail. Thank you, The Culture and Engagement team
