While SciTech offers attractive pay and good benefits, the company's rapid expansion under the director's obsession with appearing larger led to significant issues. The team was expanded too quickly, and after losing a couple of key contracts, redundancies were necessary. However, instead of acknowledging his own mismanagement and misjudgement, the director blamed the economy. Labour rates were set too low to compete with larger companies, affecting profitability. Despite being employee-owned, major decisions, such as redundancies, were made without employee input. Promises of a proper review period and notice before redundancy were broken for several employees, myself included, with dismissals occurring just days later without warning. Worse still, this has happened multiple times in the past, with some employees being offered new contracts with lower pay and worse terms just three weeks after being let go. HR even mishandled termination packages. The office environment in Godalming was equally discouraging, with the lead director imposing a strict, joyless atmosphere, despite failed attempts to improve it. Additionally, the recruitment process was highly unprofessional, with emails ignored, resulting in missed opportunities for roles.
