Pros

Was a great company to work for when Maunsell as it was run completely differently than it is today. Some good staff at lower levels although they are sitting ducks till the next round of redundancies.

Cons

Management from group leaders upwards are only leaders by name. Interpretation of results of annual survey (undertaken only a couple of times in my seven years at the company) insults staff intelligence. Staff have no confidence in management ability. Culture of blame has led to silo mentality and large burden on staff. Extremely low moral. Short sighted retrenchment of talented staff over the past few years has led to skills shortages. Inexperienced staff left to pick up the pieces with next to no support from management. No loyalty. Pay for technical and junior staff is average.
