Disappointing Experience with Poor Management - Mechanical Engineer Crux Product Design Employee Review

-Interesting and technically challenging projects across a range of industries -Many friendly and knowledgeable colleagues who are enjoyable to work with -Great office location with a pleasant working environment

- Management can be very cliquey and employees may find it difficult to feel included if they are outside an established group -Hard work and strong performance are not always recognised or rewarded consistently -experience with management can feel highly critical and heavily focused on mistakes with little recognition of achievements or positive contributions -Raising concerns or offering a different perspective could feel difficult as conversations sometimes became defensive or escalated rather than encouraging open discussion - Although the company promotes an open-minded people-first culture - many experiences did not always align with those values. Policies and processes did not always feel consistently applied -Career progression opportunities can be limited -Salaries are average for comparable roles in the industry - There was a noticeable gap between the company’s messaging and how employee concerns were handled in practice - senior management can become less supportive and more critical/demoralising after you hand in your notice -they hire a lot of grads because they’re “cheaper”

Interesting work, good level of technical depth in team

Pay is average for the output required
