Pros

Great culture based on trust Strong benefits package Flexible working Unlimited paid holiday Amazing quality of staff Great reputation with customers

Cons

Entrepreneurial sprit has reduced as the business gets larger External investors seem focussed only on making their short term return Pension is not as strong as the big defence primes Being relatively small there are limited opportunities for progression (although vacancies are normally advertised internally first)

Thank you for taking the time to write this. Our original investors have now had their majority shareholding bought by QinetiQ who have committed in a signed charter to allow Inzpire to operate independently whilst having the freedom to invest properly and proportionately in the business. The entrepreneurial spirit was never diminished, merely muted. Times have now changed for the better. Thank you once again.

Pros

Great place to work. Leadership is highly visible, the companies 5 year strategy is good. Flexible working is phenomenal. You're treated like an adult - trusted to get the job done without someone looking over your shoulder. The coffee is great at head office.

Cons

2025 was rough for the business due to the parent company QinetiQ announcing a profit warning. 2026 appears to be better.
