Pros

Free tea and coffee and great kitchen facilities. Holiday buy back option is also good.

Cons

In the last 10 years it has drastically dropped in standard, from rates of pay, to staff being unfairly treated, it is now a shell of a company that it once was. People are dropping like flies from Elcometer, there has never been so many people leaving. I wonder why?? My advice is DO NOT get a job at Elcometer, it only keeps getting worse.

Pros

They allow 60 minute lunch break, but don't leave early or be 1 minute late, you'll be making that time up!

Cons

Management is a joke, VP is constantly out of the office and very demanding. Expects things done on his time and expects people to travel and work on weekends with no compensation. Treats his employees like children and isn't above teasing or joking to make you feel uncomfortable in your role. Products are inferior and don't come close to meeting expectations of customers. Very niche market

Pros

Progression is possible and reasonable salaries can be negotiated in the right circumstances. Many of my colleagues were very friendly and great at their jobs, delivering their work under a lot of pressure. I worked with good managers who were supportive and did not micromanage (not true for everyone at this company)

Cons

Terrible at inclusion. Cannot recommend to women, LGBTQ+ or other minorities. Some shockingly old fashioned attitudes in senior leadership and HR. Left with absolutely no faith in HR's ability to do their job. Severely underpaying some staff. I knew of two people who were in the same role and the person with minimal experience was being paid 25% more. Pressure from senior leadership to adhere to unrealistic timelines with near impossible bonus targets was awful for morale.
