Pros

Polatis is full of incredibly talented and hard working people who care about the work that they're doing and want the business to succeed. I loved my time working there. There is a refreshingly calm and respectful working environment, even in times of high pressure and stress. In addition to that, the product is really innovative, and it's a great place for people to learn and grow their capability. My salary and benefits package was good, and I felt that the business cared and took my welfare seriously.

Cons

There has been a significant amount of growth at H+S Polatis and at times the company's processes haven't grown at the same pace as the sales. Whilst this is a negative, management at all levels are well aware of this and are facing into it so I have every hope that this will improve over the coming year.

Pros

colleagues are nice Small team with technically strong engineers who genuinely want to deliver good work. Opportunities to learn niche optical switching technology if you are proactive.

Cons

The company has very limited understanding of project roles, responsibilities, and modern project practices. This leads to unrealistic expectations and confusion about what the role is actually meant to achieve. There is no proper SOP, no structured processes, and very little sense of continuous improvement. Many tasks rely on tribal knowledge rather than clear, repeatable workflows. Management decisions can feel inconsistent and not well thought-out, often changing direction without providing clear reasoning or guidance. Communication is vague, instructions are unclear, and governance is almost non-existent, which results in duplicated efforts and avoidable mistakes. Although the company is trying to expand, both the tooling and the mindset have not kept up with growth , making scalability extremely difficult.
