Ingeus FAQ

Pros

Pay, benefits, people, location, ethos

Cons

Lack of flexible working, nothing else

Pros

Excellent induction training, and I do mean excellent, from day 1 I think everyone felt welcome and the training was well paced and really informative. They recruited the right people for the roles, which allows great teamwork and development to happen naturally. Great support, so far if I have asked for help it's been quickly supported. Work Life balance is what you make it, it's hard work, but you are certainly encouraged to take time and look after yourself.

Cons

Hard to say, not really seen many, I think the work requires a lot of self motivation and focus, there is no Micro Management which is good, but I guess some people like that. I know people reading this will doubt as I have nothing bad to say, but I really don`t. join us and see :D

Advice to Management

Keep doing what you do. I think every member of the Management team has been approachable, and supportive. Which makes everything run smoothly.

Pros

Service user focussed Great benefits package

Cons

Not always competitive on salaries

Pros

Really great benefits package including private medical cover and additional holiday - you even get your birthday off! Decent rates of pay. Great development opportunities are available. Truly fantastic colleagues who are all bought into the ethos and values of the company and what it aims to achieve. I loved working here and left a better, more fulfilled and developed person.

Cons

Huge downsizing of corporate functions since 2017 has led to increased workloads and an inability to deliver the type of service once provided. It's a tough time for the industry, but the most recent reductions do feel counterintuitive and shortsighted. Ingeus is always in a constant state of change - it keeps things exciting but it also means you have little chance to assess/evaluate what has been done previously and learn from it.

Advice to Management

In terms of ethos and values - keep doing what you're doing. However, make sure you don't continue to cut so close to the bone or frontline services and our people focus will suffer.

Pros

Great teams within the business, I had 2 great managers during my time there and employee benefits were great as was the pay!

Cons

Limited career progression, job is also very much dependent on performance so there is high staff turnover for both new starters not passing the 6 month probationary period as well as other members of staff who have been there longer,
