Current Employee – been working at Imagination Technologies full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Surrounded by some fantastic engineers.
Develop leading technology across multiple fields so numerous interesting projects to be part of / learn about.
Growing very rapidly so opportunities for career development as teams have to scale.
Very exciting times as the company becomes more well known and talked about.
Invests heavily in its employees so its not a company people want to leave.

Cons – As above, the company is growing very rapidly and its difficult to get the people the company needs. This affects employees but is also not necessarily something the company do a great deal about.
Office space is a little problematic at times, but this will be resolved as numerous new buildings are under construction.

Advice to Senior Management – The company is doing a lot of interesting things, make sure that all employees are aware of them since, like the company meeting, they inspire and motivate people a lot.

Cons – Need one more bath room to share. I't stays busy all the time! Owner is brillant, but he takes on too much of the adminstration side of the business. He has no life which is sad.

Former Employee – worked at Imagination Technologies

Pros – Market leading technologies in several different fields
Patient organisation - this is not a place where people get fired
Great experience builder for young or inexperienced
Engineering heaven - you'll be surrounded by amazing brain power in various fields

Cons – Salaries completely out of tune with market - leaving IMG will make your salary jump substantially
Senior management is here to stay - so there is a strong glass ceiling to promotions
Literally everybody is an engineer - makes for very one-sided thinking
This is Hossein Yassaie's company - every single decision is made by him
Management often treats employees as dummies

Advice to Senior Management – Don't underestimate employees - people are often a lot smarter than you think, and can easily see through management litany and smoke screens. You would be amazed what people can produce and contribute, if you only put a little faith in their ability. Salary levels desperately need adjustment.
