Pros

Good shift pattern, easy to plan outside of shifts being 4 on 4 off. Good staff relationships if you can keep up morale through the hard days.

Cons

Lots of red tape and beaurocracy constricting the basics of the job making simple things tedious and long winded. Constant abuse from HGV drivers by telling them to do their job well within your rights. Go home mentally worn down from trying to do too much work when given too little time. Lots of managerial offloading so clerical staff end up doing managerial jobs without the authority or inclination to do so.

Pros

Great coworkers and talented engineers who genuinely support one another. Opportunity to work on impactful projects and solve real business problems. Exposure to modern BI and data technologies. Strong team members who are willing to go above and beyond to deliver results. Good learning opportunities for self-motivated individuals.

Cons

Leadership and management style can create unnecessary stress and turnover risk. Frequent micromanagement and excessive focus on responsiveness rather than outcomes. High meeting volume reduces time available for focused engineering work. Priorities and stakeholder commitments are sometimes established before consulting the engineers responsible for delivery. Limited trust in experienced employees and their ability to manage their own work. Internal growth and mobility can feel restricted. Work-life balance can be impacted by shifting priorities and urgent requests. Lack of recognition or compensation alignment when additional onsite expectations or workload demands are introduced. Having a non-technical BI manager overseeing technical engineering work can sometimes result in unrealistic timelines, misunderstandings of development complexity, and decisions being made without sufficient technical input.
