Pros

The team is fantastic and always helpful

Cons

The Senior management are building their ivory towers and treat their staff as monkeys who turn a handle and who must be eternally grateful to be paid. The Senior leadership are Megalomanicas in every sense of the word. Make no mistake; the company is 100% profit focused and 0% people focused. No personal development, no praise, no positive feedback, no employee engagement. Minimal benefits. Overtime expected as the standard. High stress, tempo and projects are always late due to lack of staff resource, which comes down to the revolving door aka retention. So many good people have come and gone, but the management doesn't care as long as the finance figures look 'ok.' People are merely an inconvenience which impacts their bottom line.

Pros

...erm... free bar party twice a year. Pizza once a month (no healthy option).... and you’ll learn to have a thick skin...

Cons

.... or break yourself trying. I do wonder if there’s some internal drive going on to lift the Glassdoor profile given the latest reviews! Or maybe they’re giving their obvious job title to win points with the authoritarian management, treating their employees like toy soldiers. If you keep your head down, do as you’re told, don’t object, be at your desk long hours, be willing to take on more work without staff, work for profit not people, watch these guys break a few laws and watch staff turnover like a revolving door... sold!

Pros

Company objectives are clear for the most part, being such a small company, all of the projects are the same, direct bury fibre optic cables, import some cheap top boxes and install them and daisy chain the network as far around the county as possible until you breach wayleave agreement . Same project every time

Cons

Stuck in the dark ages of manual paper trails and tedious copy and pasting of excel spreadsheets , management feel because that have worked in the industry for so long that they don't need to listen to the ideas of any of their underlings. It's all authority and no competency Watched a number of decent people leave due to the lack of process and governance progression the company was making, lots of unregulated and processless project management, which makes delivery difficult. The icing on the cake is that after these people left, at the company "stand up" the head of project management was swearing and blurting abuse about these people to a few hundred staff members like an undisciplined child. Line managers are lazy and rely on their subordinates to pick up the slack, Horrible employer , complete and utter mess
