Pros

Pay is reasonable, though could be better. Additional perks available (potential flexible working, can wear casual attire, work from home 3 days a week) Bupa healthcare and dental. Bike to work scheme. Social activities (many are peer pressured though and you are treated differently if you do not wish to participate)

Cons

Niche job using outdated tools, the CAD program used is from 1995. HR department do not care about staff equally. If you are part of their clique, you'll go far. Multiple staff members have quit citing poor management as the reasons, staff turnover remains fairly high, within this past year, of an office of appx 100 persons, at least 6 people have left the company. Replacements for these roles do not come quickly. Production work all being shipped out to India. I don't forsee production happening within the UK in 5 years time. Complete disconnect between management teams / hr, and workers. Very low morale within office. Don't ever consider asking for flexible working, they will refuse you regardless of the request. Unethical and immoral decision making on the part of HR and management. Management do not have the knowledge to be able to understand simple procedural implications. The same mistakea keep happening and nothing is learnt from these mistakes.

Pros

- Some very friendly, experienced team members with great in depth knowledge. - Potential to progress quickly but only to a certain point before stagnation. - Arguably the Social Committee; although at times it feels like activities are for the sake of it. - Decent Coffee machine.

Cons

- Valuable input based on experience is ignored. - Reactive, not proactive. - To much time taken trying to fabricate cultures that will never exist. - Under resourced in all departments. - HR guided by Senior Management and refuse to support the opinions or perspectives of Team Leaders or below. - HR have to much control and influence over Team Leaders. - Communication is awful - Massive changes to the organisation and system structures are in place and no one knows why, how or when. - Goalposts constantly being changed without explanation. - New jobs are often created with someone in mind and there is very little chance of getting them. - A lot of senior positions have been created without adverts and seems to go to - former Airbus employees. - Some are in positions and remain in those positions because of longevity, not ability.
