Pros

Company has perfected the low overheads which make rates competitive to clients. Some of the staff have quality experience, but cheap rates makes them look undervalued

Cons

Management is over run with poorly trained and poorly experienced individuals who happen to have been with the company a long time. Project work is very ordinary, not a place to become an engineer with outstanding experience. Overtime is expected on all projects for most of the time. Pay is low. Talent is not recognised. Office is lack luster and not exactly a place to take clients. Managers are more interested in browsing the internet than listening to a staff members problems. Senior directors are very difficult to work with, set unrealistic targets, that cause considerable stress to all those lower in the company.

Pros

Generally a friendly and supportive working environment, with the office and sector led by experienced engineers who bring strong commercial and strategic insight. There are plenty of project opportunities to build experience within the water industry, making it a great place to develop skills and strengthen your CV. Company promotes a diverse, inclusive and welcoming workplace culture.

Cons

Project delivery can often rely too heavily on graduate and junior engineers to meet deadlines, which can lead to high workloads and pressure on less experienced staff, as well as rushed QA processes. Project management quality can vary depending on the project, with differing levels of experience and capability. Pay is not great considering the level of responsibility and delivery pressure placed on junior staff.
