Pros

Easy going atmosphere - you can do as much or as little as you like, many people do very little and often spend long periods talking to colleagues, playing on smartphones, tablets, mp3 players, browsing the internet, posting on Facebook. Nobody notices or picks you up on it. Basically you just have to put the hours in, and even then they are not logged.

Cons

No support or training. The training records and skills matrixes are mostly made up by the managers for UKAS inspections only. Lots of customer complaints with no changes made to stop them recurring. Nobody seems to care any more, or if you do then you will be very frustrated. No contact from any managers, they are on another planet and far too busy to be involved with the day to day business.

Pros

Good group of people in local office.

Cons

Stuck in the past. Unwilling to consider updating methods or procedures. "We've done it this way for 30 years and it has worked." Sales relies upon project engineers to do most of their work for them. When volume of work is slow that becomes the engineers responsibility to go find new clients. Can't reliably pay the most basic of utility bills on time. I've seen the power cut off 2x and the gas this past winter.
