Pros

Solid career paths; great people, enjoyable place to work. Lots of opportunities to move teams and departments. Great Brighton location; working On the south coast is a nice alternative to London

Cons

Large company mentality, slow to change and adapt or innovate. A lot of bureaucracy and processes. Frustrating pathways for change, slow, need some aspects to be brought into the present day.

Pros

Real opportunities to grow into more technical roles (Control Center Operator → Systems Engineer paths exist and aren't just on paper). You get hands-on experience with industrial systems most people only read about — OSI PI, SCADA, OMS integrations, cloud telemetry — which is hard to get elsewhere. Management generally supports continued education and certifications.

Cons

Decisions move slowly. Getting tooling, software, or process changes approved often involves multiple layers, including approvals that flow up to the French parent company. Procurement and IT requests can take weeks for things that would take a day at a smaller company. Some legacy systems and processes haven't been modernized — you'll find yourself working around quirks instead of fixing them.
