Pros

Cambridge site very professional and modern creates the right image. Some interesting work.

Cons

Save a penny to loose a pound mentality. Run by a bunch of bankers that have no idea how to run an engineering company. Short term mentality. Spreadsheet engineering - does not matter if the new product is working properly, just tick the box and ship it. Company is top heavy with egos, no senior management who actually know what they are doing and what it takes to design, develop and manufacture a high end technical product. Atrocious management who do not value their greatest asset - their staff. They have no respect for staff with experience of the product, they made their most knowledgeable and experienced technical staff redundant to save money in the short term.

Pros

There are some good team members wanting to make a difference and a lot can be learned from them. If you keep your head down and keep using the yes word then you will go far!

Cons

There are too many tiers of management and issues never get raised to the highest levels. The people in charge don't want to hear about the problems and have been playing a risky game for too long. Some staff in middle management positions are so removed from reality it is scary hence the companies poor performance over the last few years. Still the upper echelons have not learned any lessons.

Pros

This could have been an interesting company. A solid core, albeit a mismanaged one. A number of good people but that number is dwindling fast.

Cons

Shockingly inept senior leadership. Chairman and CEO who think it is acceptable to watch Youtube and surf the net in senior managers meetings as the company lumbers from one disaster to another. People treated like statistics as per another review. Politics galore. Backstabbing almost encouraged.
