Middle and senior management were promoted from within, therefore they lacked depth or breadth of technical skills. The CEO Cyrus Jilla was fired by the Board of Directors and the new CEO was hired from within. Their management skills were not developed by training nor were they mentored and they were very lacking in people skills with favouritism rife. Salaries in the UK are not up to international levels and they only pay competitive wages when they have no choice. There was little development of technical skills of the scientists or engineers. You were expected to learn from reading the literature. If your skills no longer fit or were useful to the company, you were forced out. There was little opportunity for advancement as there were few career paths available.

- Bullying and intimidation culture - Managers and HR personnel who act unethically have almost 0 accountability - An emotionally immature company - There is a culture of fabricating lies with the support of HR whenever a person in power decides they don't like someone and want to get rid of them. With this system, they can get rid of anyone in a couple of days. This can happen to you if you challenge someones' practices or ideas. - They don't like being challenged. - They have the most evil and unethical HR person I have ever seen in my career. - Basically it doesn't matter what you do or what your talents are, but what contacts in management you have. - They promised a bonus during the interview process and once they hired me, they said the couldn't afford it. - They bully people into working nights, week-ends and holidays, as well as into giving them your personal cellphone to contact you when you are not in. All of this at no extra pay. - Extremely macho culture where people yell at and threaten each other to get things done.
