MHR Reviews

Pros

I cannot believe some of the negative comments I have read on this site. Yes, I do work hard and put in extra work when required, and am even sometimes under a little pressure. I also met someone I did not get on with once, but is this not normal in almost every place of work. There seems to be some disgruntled people who have left MHR for one reason or another. I cannot speak for them, but I can comment on my experience. In my 3 years of working at MHR, I have been promoted twice and had three pay rises. I work alongside some of the most talented people I have ever met. I have requested, attended and passed exams for two career training courses, which the company has paid for in full, along with my hotel, food and travel expenses. I have also attended countless internal courses organised by our fantastic Training Department. My meals here are discounted and I don't have any car parking costs, which potentially saves me hundreds of pounds every month. I consider myself fortunate that I get a car allowance and above average pension contributions paid for me. I am proud to wear a suit and tie every day, in my modern heated/air conditioned office using the most up to date technology available. MHR is always expanding, its innovative and our products are at the cutting edge of technology. I choose my office hours, meaning I can start early, so I get home before 5.30pm almost every evening to have dinner with my young family and spend quality time with them. If you are talented, hard working and willing to learn, (and dress smartly) then MHR is a great place to work. If your not, it's not.

Cons

Occasional lack of resource. Communication between employees and senior management is redundant in many areas. Lack of a company wide social experience for employees and their families, such as a summer or Christmas function.

Pros

Big office space on grounds

Cons

No coffee or tea making facilities (have to buy it basically) No kitchen facilities (e.g. fridges or microwaves) Very hierarchical Ruthless with staff - if they have less than 2 years experience, will simply fire them as they know the employee can't raise an employee tribunal (this happened to me and it coincidently happened at the end of the year where they were cost saving) Developers wear suits (which is crazy as they aren't even customer facing) No way of innovating their products (simply just want to put a new 'skin' on it They don't accept reviews - they report it to glassdoor, I know 5 people that had their review taken down over the last year If the ' exective board' take a disliking to you - you won't be there long

Pros

There are no pros to working here.

Cons

Archaic dress code, Overbearing management, told training would be continued then terminated a week later. If the chairman takes a dislike to you at first sight he'll get his way as its all about him and his Conservative (Tory) methodology that is outdated in the modern world.

Pros

MHR is a great company to work for. The management in my area of the business are fantastic and always appreciate a work life balance. Food is great too in the canteens too!

Cons

No occupational parental leave pay, often told to keep quiet if you don't like a decision/the way something is run
