Pros

Growing organisation with lots of great product (and people who are passionate about creating great product). Lots of room to move & grow

Cons

Rapid growth has created a somewhat disjointed organisation, with lots of waste. Somewhat inward and reluctant to adopt best practice from outside

Business Outlook

Pros

The exceptional vision of the CEO and executive directors. However, the middle layer of management appears to favour coasting or is too involved in their own career development. Further, the property transformation will result in world-class facilities at Gaydon once complete. Finally, the pay is competitive and ensures you won't want for much.

Cons

'It's all in the detail' reads the strapline on the purchasing recruitment website. Ironic for a function that is hampered due to a severe lack of data availability and integrity, which impacts the strategic impact of the function. Further, career development is ad hoc which leads to rife frustration and sours the experience. This is further compounded by an influx of inexperienced purchasing professionals who are not equipped with basic tools, which manifests itself in sub-optimal choices. Finally, the culture needs to improve to prevent coasting and subsequent reward of such behaviour.
