Pros

- Largely independant. (This can be a con too) - Interesting work and clients - Talented managers and employees

Cons

- Management is a disaster; taking the company in the wrong direction and zero respect of their employees or even their own managers. Will ignore you for months if given the chance. - Massive blame culture. The employees are blamed for a decrease in revenue when they invest in hiring new heads in order to try and guilt employees into staying content with current non-raising pay. The employees are blamed for lack of productivity due to 2.5 avg sick days. (UK Average is 5-6 btw) - Poor pay, like trying to get blood from a stone trying to get a payrise and even when you get it, it won't even match inflation. They won't give you those either most likely. - An Employee Ownership Trust company that holds "bonuses" behind threats. Property stolen from the company? Then everybody suffers a hit to their bonus. Not hitting sales targets? Everybody suffers a hit to their bonus. Collective punishment but no collective accomplishments or accountability from management. - Their working from home policy is slowly being scrapped due to old-fashioned views of the director. They want people in the office, so they can sell the office due to being invested in the building itself. Makes sense, but at the cost of flexibility and the work/life balance of the employees who are held to a strict leesh of having to ask for each individual day from your manager. - Managers are powerless pawns of upper management / directors. They'll report issues of morale and no availability and the response is cold silence and an expectation they'll deal with it.

Pros

Absolutely none, as abysmal as the reviews on the main account they will not claim as their own, this "Microtech group" page is completely made up to hide all the negative reviews that microtech support Kilmarnock has gathered they can do nothing about.

Cons

No sick days. If you are a field engineer you WILL be double and triple booked, nobody will care, you will get the blame from the customers. Bare minimum holiday entitlement wrapped up as a benefit. Megalomaniac narcissistic person governing the whole show through yes men who are half related to him so will not be fired or so spineless they will hold onto the sinking ship kicking anyone off that makes it lighter for a few seconds. Made up reviews and lack of ownership of actual company main account on glass door which tells me finally their employment pool is drying up and tactics like this start. The wage is something a level one telephone agent would start out on, just under 20k No HR department (the woman who does the wages doesn't count) Claims to be agile but nobody here is agile trained and if they are there is no way the owner would let them do anything but reactionary actions, absolutely no preliminary work is done here, no documentation, people will leave left and right and the only access to vital information for doing the job is in their head, this is how you stop yourself getting fires BTW if you do go for it.
