Pros

Management like to draw beautiful future for the team.

Cons

Poor management of the team. Managers lack of experience in managing a team of 20 people. Leaders are more seemed to be followers and no professional leadership skills at all. All the tasks are not well planned by the managers and everyday need to handle unplanned ad-hoc tasks. Managers do not provide a clear overview of the projects and the team has lost direction while managers do not seem to care. Managers like to criticise about the employees’ hard work. Never have a good follow up and action plans for the project. No update at all for the projects status to the engineers.

Pros

Nothing much except the boss doesnt care so u can take as many leave as you want.

Cons

The team lacks expertise, proper management and teamwork. There is practically nothing professional to learn from as an intern The team is like a group of lost sheeps who dont even know what they are doing. No quality in their work. A really bad experience.

Pros

Great people, when you start you get a phone and a laptop. Food is cheap and subsidised. Travel to other sites covered. Good benefits portals for cheap cinema tickets, gift cards etc. Promotions very rare I worked with someone who got more and more work for 6 years with only 2 1% payrises and no promotions.

Cons

I worked in London and it cost a fortune everyday, people sit in sections and ignore each other. Management quick to delegate jobs they are being paid to do to you who isn't. Pay doesn't match what you do and 1% pay rise every year (IF youre lucky!!!) Lots of data entry, they take all the engineers and turn them into sales men. If you don't want to do sales you sit in an office making PowerPoints and dealing with all the back office stuff they don't want the sales guys to do. Sales team go out and see customers, and then pass all the paperwork backwards. You can never ever get hold of anyone on another site. And all the systems!!! The computer systems don't work or work with each other - very frustrating! Everything seems great on social media but you realise very quickly youre a data entry monkey while the VPs jet set around wining and dining customers. Lots of internal bitchiness.
