Pros

Some highly competent members of staff came and gone in my tenure. Excellent product (when it works)

Cons

As others have indicated, the management are the problem with this company. The general staff are aware of the problem but powerless to fix the autocratic structure. There’s a constant fear of redundancy with no job security. Significant overtime is expected and not compensated for in a salaried position. The R&D manager is a bully and doesn’t know how to manage a team.

Pros

The reasons behind the majority of the negative reviews of Cox as an employer have since been addressed: over the past couple of years there have been genuine and concerted efforts to transform the company into one where employees are listened to, their contributions are important and that they feel valued. The culture at Cox has changed for the better, and over the last two years I worked there I can honestly say I've seen a huge improvement.

Cons

Due to the relatively young age of the company, and with its ambition to be a major player in the global marine sector, it can be very challenging in terms of the amount of work to do. Having said that, the opportunity is there and it can be a very rewarding place to work.
