Pros
Having recently joined SMART, it was definitely the right decision to have made. Some early highlights:
- The company culture is very people orientated, which is led from the top. Our CEO is very focused on employee engagement and continued improvement
- Colleagues are very welcoming, helpful and friendly
- Opportunity to make a difference to our next generation through technology enhancing their learning
- Relationship with WE, a charity that makes a difference in the lives of children and empower young people to make a difference in the lives of others
- Flexible working
- Free fruit and drinks in the officesCons
None that I have found so far!
Advice to Management
Keep up the good work and looking forward to the future!

"Company lacks clear direction"

Pros
The people, in general, were great. Some limited opportunities for professional development and a nice campus.
Cons
The company lacked any clear direction and compelling vision. Their bread and butter market and product offering was rapidly declining in utility yet there was little effort to truly innovate or satisfy current clients. Turnover and restructuring was constant and as a result, morale was low.
