Pros
The people I have worked with always have time to help with my learning and development. Great training with plenty of opportunities to gain experience on various placements. Great focus on training scheme and a great record of producing chartered engineers with their respective institutions. The does a lot to look after its employees, not only with employee benefits but also mental health support and fitness support (such as gym membership).
Cons
It can be tough to progress to senior / principal engineer roles due to the small team and pyramidal structure. There can be a lot of travelling due to the business operating throughout the North West as far north as Carlisle and as far south as Crewe.
