      Pros

      - Friendly Culture in the New Business and Research Teams - Good Team Leaders

      Cons

      When I started, straight out of University, I had a great manager and a great Managing Director; both of whom had a passion and desire to see me succeed in my role and in my career. However, with changes in the business, my hiring manager and MD left the business, and things went rapidly downhill. Whilst our team leader was excellent, there was little communication nor direction from the top, and very little investment or trust in the team. What was even worse was being promised that our team would be looked after, and backed all the way - only to be cut, and laid off in the end. This was further compounded by a new job, which was in effect the same as the one I was already doing, being offered on the same day as our redundancy. To me, it seemed like the entire redundancy plan was just to hack staff costs, and instead of investing in new talent, it was simply disregarded. Ironic given the nature of the company.

      Commercial Director - Thank you for your feedback, and I do appreciate that this will have been a frustrating experience for you. As with all businesses in our sector we are constantly reviewing our operating model to anticipate changes in the external market. Unfortunately, this does mean that in order to invest we sometimes have to make difficult decisions that can lead to the removal of some roles that had been previously required. We work very hard to minimise the impact of such changes and as you identify we do our best to find suitable alternative roles for people. Sadly this isn’t always possible as was the case in your circumstances. If you have any ongoing concerns I would welcome discussing this with you, either by way of a telephone call or in person. In the meantime thank you once again for your feedback, I sincerely wish you all the best in your future endeavours.

      Pros

      Great range of interesting clients and subsequently interesting projects to work on in many fields. Great mix of people, we are an extremely diverse team in terms of age, cultures and backgrounds which is very interesting to me on a personal level however is invaluable to our business and clients. We enjoy a very open and collaborative working environment from graduates through to the MD there is pretty much an open door policy, from business issues to personal development queries we are encouraged to consult with our peers/superiors. We have the security of a large business with the culture of a small business, we all know (and like) each other and are quite free to be innovative whilst working, with freedom to get involved in other areas of the business within WRC as well as our large parent company. We're in the middle of a period of change at the moment so I enjoy knowing my ideas could maybe have a real impact on how the business moves forward. Non typical for our sector we don't get forced to work all the hours in the day some of us do chose to work out of hours but generally get the time back when it is a little quieter in the office.

      Cons

      Traffic can be quite bad on Mondays so it can sometimes prove a long commute potentially missing a parking space which can be quite hard to find if the little high street is really busy.

      Alison Ettridge - Really pleased that you are enjoying your time with us. The team is great – diverse, fun and really open for change and the impact they can have on the business. We have a great client base who are also equally committed to their project teams – a real testament to the people we have and the fantastic work they deliver. Re parking – I wish I had an immediate solution. Perhaps we could implement a car share? Or more flexible hours on a Monday particularly? Thank you also for your advice – please keep communicating what you want and need from us to be a happy engaged workforce – the door is always open! Thanks for the review :-)
