Pros

Reasonable salary and flex benefits upon joining. This has now been significantly impacted however in an effort to keep the business afloat due to gross mismanagement at the top level.

Cons

Bizarre Executive Management decisions, putting self-preservation ahead of basic business acumen. Cutting long-serving, fee-earning personnel as opposed to cutting back on the funding of their own excessive business travel costs, bonuses etc. Management structure is unnecessarily large and an inflated overhead burden will eventually kill this company. Director-level staff are scared to challenge/debate direction with the Executive Leadership and therefore downward trajectory will continue.

Pros

NONE It use to be a very good company but since the management change 3 years back. It going downhill.

Cons

No system, No work ethics, no motivation for employees, big talks zero output, no management vision to set a ground for makings of a proper engineering company. Bureaucracy, one-way communication, lacks modern practices in career development for staff. The only focus of senior management is to fill their own pockets and to save their jobs. Blame culture is encouraged by top management. Too much focus on internal politics then on making viable policies to be commercially successful. Big talk about values but no one follows it in senior management. No regards for employee rights. There is no job security and rules/processes to talk about, highly Toxic environment to work in. Do not recommend it for anyone. Don’t take this review as complaint from a disgruntled employee, these are the facts.
