Tait Communications Reviews

Pros

Builds innovative products for customers globally

Cons

A challenge can be distance to markets

Pros

Some good people, the work is occasionally interesting

Cons

Very heavy culture, with a lot of overhead. Hypocrisy, manipulations, lie and ignorance from management became a new norm. There was 0 investment in training for years. Usual salary gap from the average market is 25k. Due to all of it people leaving as soon as they can, they haven't been replaced and more pressure comes to those who decided to stay. It is completely normal there to do three people's job without any pay rise for years or even a "thank you" from management. On top of it all, everything is very much outdated. Technologie outdated at least for 15-20 years, and no investment to the equipment and software even in plan. There are no opportunities for the employee to advance themselves, the workload is unbearable and no one cares about improving skills, because people with good skills leave even faster. The place might be suitable for close to retirement people who completely burned out in their occupation and simply don't care any more, but this attitude makes very bad influences on those who just started their career, especially if this job is the first one. This atmosphere is not suitable for young engineers, especially females. I can talk endlessly about the number of sexist's jokes and comments I have heard for the relatively short period of being working there.

Pros

Very knowledgeable and passionate people who are fun to work with and learn from

Cons

They're not good at retaining staff - salaries are not keeping up with other electronics companies, and many high-performing staffs haven't received a payrise in over 5 years. As a result good people are going elsewhere, and positions are not being backfilled at the same rate, which means the workloads have increased.

Pros

I can only speak for the engineering side. It's a good place if you are looking for a 9-5 job working on legacy problems.

Cons

The structure of the engineering organisation does not cultivate a challenging and growing environment for engineers.

Pros

Good work environment At tait

Cons

Salary need to be reviewed at tait

Pros

Good people, an opportunity to work with technologies suitable for museums.

Cons

Top management totally incompetent. Miscommunication on every level, ancient technologies, no investments. Salary is a joke, employee's efforts don't have any value for management. No career opportunities at all.
