Interesting work, however untrustworthy and arrogant senior management (some of, not all)
Pros
Interesting, exciting, and varied work. Exciting drone / UAS missions in open airspace. Working with a very clever and motivated team (pre-redundancy programme).
Cons
Underdeliver and overpromise to both staff and customers. Lack of listening to their experts with many combined years of experience in UAS and technology; causes numerous mistakes, rushed work, and wrong decisions. Do not learn and admit to mistakes and issues. This lack of reflection means repeated issues and do not want to hear improvement points, seen as being hostile and resistant rather than positive change. Senior management numbers are top-heavy post-redundancy programme (October 22), also causing even lower staff motivation and overwork. Risk management and scheduling work are constantly unrealistic and not aligned with the team. Missing deadlines is constant but always ignored when it suits, and aggressively pursued when it does not. Lack of promotion opportunities for existing staff.
