Pros

No positives to working here, other than it's quite close to Five Guys and their burgers are great!

Cons

Manager is toxic and has favourites that get to leave at 10am each day on the same pay as those that work til 3pm or their full hours. Office staff are bullies and unfairly distribute the workloads constantly calling you being rude on the phone getting you to pick up work after the lazy useless drivers that they have friendships with outside of work. Don't allow you holiday time, always gets rejected so if you have young children this is not the place for you as you will lot be allowed time off in school holidays. The office is toxic, bullying, unappreciative and down right rude. Extremely two faced individuals work here they will smile to your face and stab you in the back 2 minutes later. Disgusting company with no morals, a culture of favouritism and bullying. You will only get a round if you go to running club with the boss, no one else gets a look in so steer well clear!!

Thank you for your honest comments, we are concerned by these as this doesn't reflect what we stand for.

Pros

Everyone I met at Veolia was very welcoming and would answer any questions I had when joining the company. The recruitment team are fantastic people and made all the grads feel excited about helping the environment and united in working for a large organisation.

Cons

The graduate scheme I joined required 3 x 8 month rotations in different part of the UK. I found moving away from home to be expensive and isolating as when I started my role I was the only graduate at work and all my colleagues were much older than myself, meaning I did not make any friends. I also did not have much purpose day to day as I am a 'graduate engineer' my duties were not very clear and I received very little technical training.

Hi, thank you for your review. We're disappointed to hear about your experience working at Veolia. It's great that you had a supportive team around you and were welcomed well through your interactions during application and onboarding with the recruitment team. We appreciate your honest comments and I will ensure these are shared with the relevant teams to action as this does not represent the experience we want colleagues to have. We wish you all the best in your future employment. Kind regards, Veolia Talent Acquisition Team.
