Pros

Flexible hours, great product and amazing engineering techniques

Cons

Poor UK management & leadership, politics run this place, you need to be part of a group for you to progress/ get promoted. No appreciation to hard work, awards and promotion to a certain group, bullying environment. Communication is poor, usually bad news get circulated around in the office before it becomes official. There is always secrets and you always get surprised by things happening within without you knowing. Believe it or not but there is more managers than employees. Old mentality and managers will not listen to you.

Pros

Just a little over 100 employees, so scheduling is high flexible including PTO (depending on your manager). No micromanagement, so you get to work freely and at your own pace.

Cons

Lack of accountability. If you find something wrong/broken you'll be expected to fix it because no one else will. Hard workers are rewarded with additional work- and there is always plenty of that because there are no consequences to those that don't work or do the right thing. Management is totally out of touch with floor employees, nor care about what's going on until its the end of the month and THEIR bonuses are on the line. No advancement unless someone in a higher position quits or gets fired. Problematic employees are not corrected. Management lets issues continue until someone leaves on their own will. NO real incentive to work here. It's a dead end job, but good for those new to the workforce and those returning after a long break. Acrrue only 10 hours of PTO per month.
