Pros

Good car allowance Great car scheme Decent salary

Cons

Disgusting line manager Everything that was promised including training and development was not provided at all. Manager pushed all his short fallings onto the employee and dismissed them from the job in 3 weeks. If you think they will support you. You are wrong. They will support their own managers first.

Pros

Good contracts and Perks Nice Company Car Some nice guys Loved being outdoors

Cons

Expected to work two full weekends per month ( sat lunch home Sun Late) Reached a stage where I was leaving wife a 3 children under8 every other weekend. Then you would moue be expected to lodge away midweek if job was further than a 2 hour total tip. Most were. These are not unusual in the Rail industry but when the financial crash happened in 2009, we had a rethik aboutas mentioned. The work life balance.

Pros

Some employees were nice, that’s all

Cons

They don’t follow their own processes, actually very few were in place. They managed to get rid of the very few people of colour working there. If you’re a person of colour working there, get ready to get laughed at because your accent is different and yelled at just because they can get away with it. Never been in a company this bad, people of colour are treated poorly and given no opportunity or room to progress and express themselves. And they’re only likely to hire in roles where they cannot afford to discriminate so tech jobs. No diversity and inclusion, just ignorant group of people who would hire you for your skills and spend their time hoping they were back in the 1900s. No manager and employee relationship, assuming now is because manager was clearly British so didn’t bother to establish anything. The good reviews must be from British people as they’re treated well and respected clearly it reflect here. It’s a company full of British people so expect racism of some sort if you’re directly in line with them as far as meetings and tasks go The job itself - I’ve never seen a company with this bad level data, and they’re the ones creating it. Bypassing processes, etc., They do not understand anything in data so do not hire properly and tasks aren’t allocated well either. They don’t understand the skills, knowledge around it so do not know and refuse to know the difference between analytics, engineering, and science. I would avoid this company if you’re serious of being in the world of data. Well unless you’re an engineer on a contract.
