Thames Water Reviews

Pros

Good training, skills development and driven to climb the ladder. Great teams.

Cons

Management at area level seem to be in a different world and not understand what happens on the ground. Work scheduling is atrocious, something that can be locally is being done in reading which causes issues. Not much overtime.

Pros

Passionate workforce in general ,good benefits and pay progression

Cons

Frustrating leadership with individuals experiencing constant changes in role and re organisations. Technical personnel are often not valued and as such and they end up in roles that are not suited to their skills set. Often this is due to reorganisations with no appreciation of individuals qualifications or competencies

Pros

The work was empowering and felt like a real difference was being made

Cons

The company talks a big game but doesn't show any action. Promises of training, pay rises and promotions frequently but it never materialised-- its what drove me to leave The company is also scared of innovation and is very stuck in their ways, they have ambition to change but without an overhaul it looks unlikely 70+ hour weeks wasn't uncommon

Pros

Good place to work & lots of opportunities

Cons

Daily challenge to be on top

Pros

Pay well and worked with lovely people

Cons

Software is behind the times and redundancies tend to be every four years followed by heavy recruitment drives 6 months later
