A Good Spot For Graduates and Early Career Professionals...And That's About It.
Pros
- Gregarious, hard-working staff. I formed true friendships with my colleagues which facilitated an environment of excellent teamwork and a generally very positive working environment. - Vehicle Fleet. There was excellent availability of vehicles for site work. Now, they weren't anything flashy, but were certainly fit for trips to the bog, etc.
Cons
- Very poor pay. There are other consultancies in Galway that offer a considerably better package. Graduates, use MKO as a stepping stone to better opportunities. - Workload. With such a high turnover of staff, myself and other colleagues of mine frequently found ourselves working late hours. We would only ever be paid for the 37.5 hours, though. - Upper management. Self-righteous. - Upon leaving the company, I (along with several other colleagues) was strongly advised to not leave a negative review on Glassdoor or elsewhere online. Instead of threatening employees leaving for pastures greener, work on creating an environment which would inspire them to offer praise instead of criticism. I was told in no uncertain terms that if I left a negative review, "it would be very easy to figure out". Well, here we are.
