Professional organisation and highly skilled team - Engineering Operations Manager Park Signalling Employee Review

Colleagues were generally skilled, friendly, supportive. Some opportunity to learn (mostly self-directed).

Criticism is constant, harsh, and rarely constructive. A general atmosphere of contempt and disrespect from leadership. Zero meaningful encouragement or positive reinforcement. Low morale is widespread and openly ignored by management. The workload is deliberately and perpetually mismatched to the number of staff. Management acknowledges the problem but refuses to fix it. The handful of 5-star reviews are clearly written by the same managers accused of creating the toxic environment. This is a transparent attempt to mislead job seekers and cover up deep seated problems. When issues are raised, the response is to cover up or deflect, not to solve them. The company's model relies on hiring new talent, overworking them in a negative environment, and then watching them leave within 1-2 years, drained and disillusioned. Leadership sees this as normal, not as a critical failure.

Can learn a few things if you want to.

Toxic environment, closed inner circle (no chance to be accepted), no incentives, no encouragement to progress, a lot of criticism, and treated with contempt.
