Pros

You'll work on lifesaving equipment, the entire Marine industry is on your shoulders.

Cons

The entire marine industry is on your shoulders. The companys failure to provide parts, people, plans, processes, and equipment will be treated as your own personal failure. You will be bullied by people you outrank just as much as people who outrank you. There's a global freeze on hiring so the company can recover from losing so much staff. (Yeah, I can't make sense of it either). You'll be expected to work long hours to meet deadlines and then they'll "forget" to pay your overtime, meaning you get it next pay period if you can get in contact with the accountant at all. I also had my paid breaks revoked several times for no reason without backpay to compensate. Despite having a very physical job I am forced to waste company time emailing my colleagues when I could just hand them a sticky note because without a paper trail exonerating you the company will side with office staff and throw you under the bus. Get ready to receive top of the line training which makes you liable for all equipment under your name, and then prepare to be told how to do your job by people who have never received training. Watch as the high standards trained into your fellow technicians drop to a dangerously low level due to corrosion of mind and spirit.

Toxic culture and sinking ship

Pros

Great people/teams working extremely hard together Half day Fridays There’s a car park Employee forum try so hard to make an effort and a difference to people working there. Teams looking out for each other and supporting each other in times of distress.

Cons

Toxic culture Face doesn’t fit if you’re not a yes man to snr management. Under resourced Bad Management making terrible knee jerk decisions which impact the business & employees negatively. No check ins with managers The social media marketed Survitec is not a reflection of the real life Survitec Senior mgmt do not follow the Survitec values Newly relocated site cannot be accessed via public transport alienating Approx 70% of ops employees leaving them to rely on a company organised bus which they won’t confirm how long it will continue for leaving loyal long serving and aging employees stressed and worried about their future. This fear breeds the toxic culture.

Pros

Great people in the teams and on shop floor. Very interesting products.

Cons

Poor business practice due to equity ownership and lender debt. Inter company comms are poor and can be bitter. Pretty toxic work environment. Untrustworthy HR. Poor pay across the board, especially shop floor. Poor work life balance. Lack of any career or progression opportunities.
