Fast paced and required to deliver with high quality standards. Pushes its employees to a fast learning curve which can be quite demanding with low work-life balance.

Going down the tubes

Aircraft Engineer (Current Employee) - Nantgarw, Rhondda Cynon Taff - 15 July 2022

I have worked here for 12 years, it’s gone downhill drastically in that time, the managing director is completely out of his depth, has no industry experience, and morale is at an all time low. Too many managers with too little knowledge, with no respect or consideration for the workforce. I can’t wait to leave…

Standard corporation

Programme Manager (Current Employee) - Cheltenham - 22 June 2022

Driven to usual targets, although data reporting grew and grew to be a significant portion of the role, rather than actually working on actions. People are great, but the company seems too large to be able to make real connections

Team spirit & great colleagues

Electronic Repair Technician (Former Employee) - Cheltenham - 22 June 2022

The whole site was supportive and colleagues were always ready to lend a hand. Supervisors were firm but fair and always got an answer to any question they didn't have an immediate solution to.

Pros

Flexible working hours

Cons

Some work end of life cycle so hard to get spares

Slow paced and not many opportunities to learn

Electrical Engineer (Current Employee) - Cheltenham, Gloucestershire - 22 May 2022

Slow paced and not many opportunities to learn. Culture is non existing. Everyone just has their small own bit they need to do. If you want to progress, that's going to take a few years. Not a place for people who want to fast track their career and learn a lot.

Manufacturing Engineer (Former Employee) - Cheltenham, Gloucestershire - 21 May 2022

Disorganised and dysfunctional

Procurement Specialist (Former Employee) - Hamble, Hampshire - 19 May 2021

This company has absolutely no idea when it comes to running a business, save yourself and look else where. Management are a joke, employees are lazy and nothing ever gets said.

Not good place to work

Advanced electrical system design engineer (Former Employee) - Cheltenham - 2 March 2021

I don't recommend this Area for Foreigner. The competency is very very low that i expected in my previous experience, GE is a big company but this area is very very special, is very bad experience for me, i removed this experience in my resume, i spent the time just to teach the collaborators with hard head, the line manager is very special his goal is keep safe do not loss the her job.

Pros

N/a

Cons

Management totally incompetent

Poor experience

Great place to work but.....

Aircraft Engineer (Current Employee) - Nantgarw, Rhondda Cynon Taff - 26 September 2020

A good place to work with great pay and conditions. The main problem there is a total lack of effective supervision. Nobody in authority seems to know or recognise the people who actually do the work. It is a perfect hiding place for the lazy.

Pros

Good pay

Cons

Lack of recognition

Not very dynamic

Engineer (Current Employee) - Cheltenham, Gloucestershire - 18 May 2020

Communication is pretty poor between management and shopfloor, suppliers are restricted to current list and are expensive and some very difficult to deal with.

Beyond a joke

Engineer (Current Employee) - Cheltenham, Gloucestershire - 17 May 2020

A very strange place to work , Company site has gone way down hill over the years , Big headed spoilt rich kids of former fraudulent lazy going money bleeding employees are now in charge not for their hard work and commitment but only their name . Too many employees have a poor attitude and act like they are bloody royalty. So many are still treating the site as a holiday destination and these individuals don’t get punished but rewarded with bonuses, ice cream and even takeaway food. Also common sense and site rules means nothing to majority too.
