Good place but dont expect to be promoted to management

Lead engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Stability for permanent employees is almost a given. Good work-life balance and people will be polite for the most part.

Cons

Old fashion culture. Things do not change and a very strong "This is how we do things for so long" mentality fills the air. Not happy to admit it, but trends seem to show that management and promotion to the upper levels is focused on the behavioural skills (which are all based on British culture) rather than engineering skills. This means an excellent engineer from another background has a very hard time been promoted to any level higher than a D-grade position, unlike the many young graduates from the UK accelerating at a much faster pace without the equivalent engineering experience or skills.

Pros

They don't fire employees, even if you're totally incompetent you will have a job forever. Pays well.

Cons

Management team claims they want to be competitive and makes change in order to do so, yet they continue to do the same things over and over again. The definition of insanity. Technology, systems etc. very bad.
