      I have been working at BSI Group full-time (More than 10 years)

      Pros

      Working with highly qualified technical colleagues in a well respected organisation with full support from all management levels. It feels like one big global family!

      Cons

      Not too much to say other than with rapid growth the organisation and it's infrastructure needs to adapt quickly to multiple changes to match the speed of growth

      Pros

      Honestly the best place I have worked and a nice environment in Loughborough. Great flexibility, benefits, pension, holiday allowance and variety. Good opportunities available for those willing to work for them which to be honest I think is fair. There have been a number of reviews on here and I really don’t recognise the place that they describe as it’s not what I have experienced. There is a good team ethic and people are generally happy to help if you need it. I would say it’s very much moving in the right direction and would recommend working here.

      Cons

      There really aren’t many bad things. Yes there are bits that need sorting and improvement (where isn’t there?) but there seems a desire for this to happen from everyone.

      Advice to Management

      Tackle things quicker.

      Pros

      It is a good one to have on your cv

      Cons

      Heath and safety in laboratories is abysmal, recently an apprentice ended up a casualty of these shortfalls. I would urge anyone to think carefully as they are more concerned about profit margins and capital than they are theirs staff's safety and wellbeing. Pay is poor unless you are mates with a manager and get fast tracked to the top and often the hairdryer treatment is given to staff instead of a decent training programme.

      Advice to Management

      Your fighting a loosing battle, its you that need to change.

      Thank you for your feedback. Nothing is more important to the management and staff at BSI than the health and safety of all employees.

      I have been working at BSI Group full-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      I joined BSI nearly 5 years ago as part of the first Sales Graduate Programme and have never looked back! The business doesn't hold back in rewarding and recognising good / hard work and if you put the work in, its well worth it. The training I was provided with when joining was very good and provided me with a good platform to build on, both in terms of the products / services I was selling and in terms of sales skills training. The programme has changed and developed over the years and it now gives the graduates a greater opportunity to experience the 'One BSI' approach and understand our customers' journey in greater detail - this is something I wish was available to me when I started, but I think it speaks volumes that they have made improvements based on the feedback they received.
      I have made a decision to stay in sales, and there are many opportunities to develop your career in sales (more so now than when I first joined). There are also options to develop your career in other areas of the business which is great.

      Cons

      We should use the phone more often - it is too easy to get caught up sending emails.

      Pros

      BSI is fantastic at identifying talent and investing into it. If you want to achieve, influence or contribute, the space is already there fore you to do so. Top management are approachable and actively engage with employees.

      As a graduate who joined 5 years ago I have been provided with some great opportunities - and I have seen many others progress and develop here as well.

      As a growing company and one that is constantly evolving and improving - there is a chance to really get your teeth in and achieve something.

      Cons

      Some of the IT systems can be a bit challenging at times.
