Pros

Car allowance was a good amount.

Cons

Management was absolutely terrible. No one spoke to anyone lower than their position, yet expected you to work full office hours THEN to go on site on the night shift on the weekend then straight back in the office on Monday. Management may have been good engineers but unable to manage people. Nothing was organised and everything was last minute and corner cut.

Pros

Feel looked after and part of the team, great team members, senior leadership demonstrate that they listen to employee feedback in their actions and policy changes. It’s the small things that go a long way.

Cons

Nothing major. It you’re prepared to actually do the job you’re paid for, then there shouldn’t be any issues.
