Horrible place to work

Business Outlook

Pros

Good transport links. Facilities are good.

Cons

Dress code is suits for no reason. Company is out-dated and old fashioned. Runs a Rank and Yank policy to employees- HR enjoy firing people. The more junior the role the more you are messed around Inflexible- can't even leave 5mins early for any reason. Asked to put over £200 of pizza on my own credit card by my boss. Graduates are cheap labor to them.

Dissappointing Experience - No Career Growth or Opportunities

Communications specialist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Company does interesting and important things for the infrastructure of our world.

Cons

- You're no one if you're not in a HQ office or in Germany. - No career growth opportunities unless you're at the HQ or an engineer. - Marketing/Communications are not seen as a valued part of the business. - Constant restructuring and changes for business reporting purposes only. - Moving through a flat but highly bureaucratic organization, means your career stagnates and moves in circles unless you're an engineer or at HQ. - Bad employees are allowed to linger in positions, meaning good employees pick-up more work with less recognition. - During my exit interview I was told that high achieving employees rarely stay more than 3 years. - The most common thing I head during my time with the company was, "That's not part of my job description."
