Great work environment. SSE care slot about H&S and training. My colleagues are considerate and respectful, I have worked 3 projects so far in the space of 9 months so I have had a range of new skills and experiences already. Flexible working.
Cons
Wish there was parking available.
- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Flexibility with working times, i.e unexpected childcare issues etc. You could always leave and do the time back.
Cons
Poorly managed department, employees had a negative attitude to everything. Constant changes that weren't managed well. Managers micromanaging everything! No progression. Wouldn't work in that department again, this review is only for AP as I heard from other employees in other departments how they were enjoying their work and the company.
