Pros

I did get to go home which was the best part of every day

Cons

I'm lost for words on how bad this company actually is,the review above is completely accurate, at interview your given false information that has no real resemblenance to anything that's going on. I made a huge career mistake by going there. Your given ridiculous journeys to do then given a full days work,then expected to drive home without any additional payment, so bad I very nearly fell asleep driving. There's no duty of care! Your technical ability is questioned by women that have no clue about anything! Any technical support is just as bad as the technical manager was off sick most weeks! When you stay away from home, your given a silly budget of £15.00 meal allowance,try doing that when your staying in London! And to make matters worse the technical manager was allowed £20.00,still poor,but how is that fair or even decent of the company! The staff in Runcorn are all related to each other and just cover up for each other,when they're not doing that they poison the place by trying to out do each other, especially the three female managers in the office! I think....I'm sure I know who provided the review,that employee had drive and enthusiasm but was literally beaten down with a big stick,because progress and fresh talented ideas were dismissed,especially if short term it meant any investment. The offices are weary,ancient and actually reminded me of my first days at work over 30 years ago! No thought at all about modernisation. I would strongly urge anyone to walk away before even interview stage,it's a disgrace of a place.

Stuck in a time warp!

Pros

It's hard to think of any at all but there are a couple of good engineers that hopefully will escape some time soon!

Cons

During my time at there I witnessed good decent engineers being bullied, manipulated, shouted at in a degrading and aggressive manner and forced into doing work with little or no training and work very long hours on top of long journeys. The engineers are not allowed an opinion and are dictated too by a small group of office staff (mostly related to each other) with zero engineering knowledge or qualifications, again I witnessed engineers being over ruled through sheer ignorance in situations where could put lives at risk. Deva Medical is run with with the mentality of a company from the 1950's, opinions are not valued, employees health and well being is dismissed out of hand. There is absolute zero chance of job progression or if you do have any ambition at the start it will soon be trampled out of you by the few long term staff that are still there and this is purely out of insecurity for their own jobs. The biggest thing that raises alarm bells is the extremely high turnover of staff for such a small company. Don't allow me to sum this place up make your own mind up by looking at the most out of date website you are likely to see for a modern day business

Pros

A handful of lovely employees

Cons

By far the most ridiculous company I have ever worked at or even heard of. It was established in the 1980's and you can tell that it hasn't made one inch of progress since then in terms of working practices - the pay is diabolical, the office is dreary, there is a complete lack of organisation, all positive change and progress are opposed as the company is stuck in its dysfunctional ways, there is no scope for progression for anyone who isn't related to the management, the office is physically teeming with petty office politics that pollute the whole place with a vile, toxic environment. Everyone who could have made a positive contribution to the company has long since moved on to bigger and better things.
