Interesting project, good company (and salary), but management must be improved

Consultant (Former Employee) - London, Greater London - 8 February 2022

As stated between the pros and cons, generally the projects are interesting, but the management is terrible. I was relieved when I resigned from the job (see below for further details)

Pros

The possibility to work with interesting projects, The business is smaller compared to other big companies, therefore you will have more flexibility.

Cons

Management must be improved

Wasted my time

Finance Assistant (Former Employee) - Harpenden, Hertfordshire - 8 February 2020

Went for an apprenticeship, they had me working for a month as a role of an accountant with basically no training and then let me go because they wanted someone already trained now not in the year or so it would take to do so,

Leading Survey Company in UK

Technical Manager (Current Employee) - Harpenden, Hertfordshire - 15 June 2018

A fantastic bunch of people working here with a professional and safe attitude. Like all businesses, not everything is perfect, but if you speak up and you are speaking truths, your voice will be heard and actions will be taken As well as pioneering all the latest survey technology, the companies measured approach (if you will excuse the pun) is second to none. They have no fear when it comes to new technology and so if you are looking for a career in this industry, there is no better place The company rewards loyal service and also recognised those that go above and beyond their normal line of duty Operations us hectic and you wont get bored. There is lots of work to do, but if you are someone who likes a challenge, and you arent afraid to knuckle down and put in some hard graft, there are opportunities to progress and put a runber stamp of your CV

Pros

Social activities and director engagement

Cons

Busy!
