Pros

Some brilliant individuals within the company.

Cons

The workplace lacks collaboration, with little to no training or onboarding support. There’s an unspoken expectation that new employees should already know everything, which creates a high-pressure and isolating environment. Internal systems and tools are consistently faulting and difficult to understand, and support from within the organisation is minimal. It’s certainly a sink-or-swim culture, where you’re left to figure things out entirely on your own. Recent redundancies have only made things worse, with decisions appearing reactive and poorly thought through, adding to the instability and low morale.

Pros

Everyone I work with at RES is high caliber. People are intelligent, good communicators and are pleasant to work with. Management is clear on expectations from staff. RES has the resources to outsource help for any pain points, which is great and leads to faster resolution. The company has already been around for 50 years so it is stable and feels safe to invest your time and energy into.

Cons

Career progression is stunted because people are happy here and stay long term, which means elevated positions are harder to come by.
