Pros

Many talented engineers with very good domain knowledge

Cons

Seriously poor mangement - especially at middle management level. Lack of meaningful career progression opportunities with UK engineering Complete lack of accountability for failures in design / test within certain product lines Inflexible culture, very difficult to affect meaningful change 'Temporary' closure of Chandlers Ford offices - 12 months or more to find a new office?

Pros

The job itself is terrific. Lots to do. No paid support so you learn a much deeper level on how to fix things. The worker bees are highly intelligent, top in their class - all great to work with.

Cons

Lay-offs - always lay-offs - non-stop lay-offs - it's just not a day without lay-offs. Then there's the wonderful management - no foresight - no hindsight - just some usb stick that's seriously late to the game. If you used linked In as a gauge you'd think they were doing great - but sadly I know too many that were just let go. Seems like the ship is taking on water with no change in sight. Very sad.
