RecommendsPositive OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI worked at Scottish Water full-time for more than 10 years
Pros
A good place to work with flexible agile working as long as you have a decent manager. Decent working conditions. Good standards of health and safety coupled with health regulations to ensure water supply is within standards and wastewater is removed and treated correctly. Good prospects for graduates or if you push yourself forward
Cons
Open offices are a playschool for some. No one hurries but everyone wants answers yesterday. For a public company, they really do waste taxpayer's money and do not follow up or chase non-compliance with their own rules. Contractors do as they wish as long as boxes are ticked.

RecommendsI worked at Scottish Water full-time for more than a year
Pros
I was given good development opportunities and worked with some great people. Good benefits such as generous holiday allowance, access to wellbeing support, retail discounts, flexible working. Option to go on the standby rota to earn more.
Cons
In the labs they often take people on a temporary contract with the hope that a permanent role will come up before the contract ends, which doesn't always happen. The benefits are only for Scottish Water staff, not those that are temporary through an agency.
