Hoare Lea Employee Reviews about "long hours"

Pros

Good group of staff. Plenty of opportunity for progression if you are prepared to flog yourself and say the right things.

Cons

Partners seem to compete against each other rather than work together. High profits are put before staff so expect a very high workload and long hours. Not all staff are treated respectfully.

Pros

Diverse range of work and great opportunity for career development. The company is very successful and therefore work is stable and is well respected.

Cons

The workload is far too high and can be difficult to deliver projects without working long hours far beyond those that are paid.

Pros

Fantastic people, great development opportunities, good working environment.

Cons

Expected to work extremely long hours in order to be recognised, consistent tight deadlines and feeling of "putting fires out" all the time, staff not treated the best.

Pros

Mostly friendly and knowledgeable staff Interesting projects Excellent career progression opportunities Relaxed working environment

Cons

Quality suffers due to lack of resource, time and attention to detail Engineers expected to work unreasonably long hours No paid overtime Poor communication between disciplines Wages below competitors Good staff leaving Management do not deal with lazy and underperforming staff effectively

Pros

Leaving the business, it's really awful

Cons

Long hours, unthankless work, having incompetent supervisors, having reviews that feel more like standing in front of the firing squad, demeaning jobs to do, being micromanaged, rotating door recruitment
