Pros

Decent starter salary for a new graduate

Cons

Very unprofessional at every level. Treats their staff like school children and staff are treated with disrespect. Poor organisation. Lack of progression. Does not listen to feedback. Blatant sexist and discriminatory remarks made at ‘professional’ meetings. Managers compare staff openly and when people have handed in their notices they face criticism, snide remarks and hostility instead of being asked for feedback, as the manager has no clue how to do his job. HR also doesn’t care about their staff or basic HR legislation. Lack of support. It is tempting to start here as as a graduate to try to get ahead in a GIS career but This is completing land referencing on land referencing software. Not the GIS software and analysis a graduate may expect. Therefore be prepared for this. In this company you’re just a number. Any faults will be made evident to you personally. Any successes mostly will not be noticed. Most of the staff in this company are miserable and a good few have ended up crying from how management has handled situations. Overall terrible work environment.

Pros

Select few decent employees who actually know what they’re doing. Hybrid working makes it easy to attend appointments.

Cons

Hire people with no relevant qualifications/experience for all levels including project management and not providing any training. Employees are left dealing with staff who are unsuitable for the role creating a high stress environment. Valid concerns are not listened to, management does whatever they want, then come to the people who warned them about these problems to fix the mess they’ve created. Poor pay. Bare minimum legal requirements are presented as “benefits” e.g pension. Not much room for growth. Promotions not based on employee performance but to fill numbers. Barely any support for mental health, workload or day to day concerns. Little choice in what project or work you do. Can feel very mind numbing and repetitive. No recognition or incentive for good employees to stay.

Pros

My immediate team was full of some really talented people.

Cons

The c-suite clamber over each other to be potentially next in line for the top job, this results in micro driving directions within leadership that hold the company back. Company culture and processes are more aligned with a company in the 90s rather than a modern working environment. The new office is great but is the pizza party of a systematic broken work culture.
