      Some great minds, a lot of fluff but essentially a backward mentality

      Pros

      Based out in Surrey and has car parking if you drive in Some great minds who are technically brilliant in their fields A good stepping stone if you want utilities experience / knowledge

      Cons

      A toxic / politically charged environment based on who knows who 98% white and they proudly state that they are over and above the diversity levels for that particular locality (Leatherhead) A culture that disrespects the truth and disrespects employees who speak up.

      Pros

      The pros were that you got to go home at the end of the day

      Cons

      Too many to list, but environment was toxic, rife with sexism and racism, would suggest running a mile, they expect you to work past your contracted hours for extremely subpar pay, they treat you like trash, think the worst thing they did was when i took off time for a family bereavement and they docked my pay
