HighWire Reviews

Redundancies recently so you don't know if your job is safe. No real career plan or guidance to move up the chain especially on the engineering side. Goal setting is just a tick box exercise at the end of the year. You learn not to expect bonuses, pay rises or training. People are leaving the company so much that it's hard to know who even still works here. The staff who go aren't being replaced which puts even more pressure on the people who are left. Big focus on customer satisfaction but not on employee satisfaction.

The management team constantly harping on about flexibility, the HR team saying we won this award for most flexible employer. However, when it comes down to it, when you do WFH or you come in later, you get interrogated by your line manager they also love to micromanage! The constant clicks between line managers and the senior management team. Making you feel like a stranger as you walk into a room and they're all gossiping, then it goes dead silent. The complete lack of honesty when the "click" all say they're WFH and then you find them in the pub mid afternoon! Sitting in pointless meetings to celebrate people's success for just doing their job! A petty excuse to give out a medal for participation in my opinion. All shouting and dancing and promising the world but really it's all smoke in mirrors. There is a serve lack of processes being followed extending deadlines, skipping tasks or processes to deliver a half functioning product to a customer. The promise of a bonus in your contract however never actually receiving one even though you've met all your objectives and preformed exceptionally well throughout the year. Finding out from other colleagues that have been there for years that they've never got a bonus. The lack of cleaning the toilets, going into the toilets holding your breath everyday as they stank of poo, it was something we just had to put up with.
