Some structure offered for juniors but was overlooked when it came to promotions despite strong performance.. - Intermediate Mechanical Engineer Hurley Palmer Flatt Employee Review

Big project. There are many opportunity to learn by yourself.

The progress in company depends on your relationship with your regional director. There is huge favouritism. Your progress doesn't depends on how much you know and how much you deliver. If you know a lot management are going to overload you with a work and some other people will take the benefits. I have witnessed that some people have got 2 times pay rise and promotion within less then a year. Also they don't have tight deadlines and their workload is not big. They book most of the time on meetings without any outcome.

Able to win some projects from bankers, dealing with nuts and bolts stuff like data centres and warehouses, nothing special except for some reliable cash

There is actually one benefit of the lockdown this year that we wont have to pretend enjoying the cliquey event at Claridge's. A bit tired of hiring black tire at the last minute last year, then even more tired to hobnob with high profile clients at the scene just to show how good we are at spending design fees. Why didnt we all just enjoy hearty burgers in Croydon high streets? Just be who we are and do what we are best at.
