Thames Water Utilities Limited Employee Reviews in London

Good company, role poorly thought out. The supervisor was an intrusive overbearing manager with a lack of management experience. The role was limited to a small area. Good senior management and a supportive company and environment.

Pros

Flexible

Cons

Poor supervisor

Not an equal opportunity company in few words

Technical lead within Thames (Current Employee) - london - 29 August 2021

Thames water is very proud in stating that it is an equal opportunity company, which is not true and you career progress is based on who you set next to. Personal development chances are very limited in spite of being really active to make a change.Don't recommend it if you have an ambition as Thames will definitely kills it.

Productive and Challenging Work Place

Operations Manager (Former Employee) - London, Greater London - 18 March 2020

At Thames, there was always room for progression. The daily challenges were hard work yet achievable. The hardest part of the job was getting departments to work and liaise with eachother at all times. The most enjoyable part of the job was the interactions with staff, hitting targets and visiting the general public.

I had heard great things but..........

Process Technician (Current Employee) - London, Greater London - 6 November 2019

I would imagine that starting at Thames Water is probably the single biggest mistake I have ever made. Looks great until you realise that they cannot hold on to people and excessive hours are required. The base wage is not what is promised and what you negotiate on interview is what you are stuck with + yearly company pay rise, there isn't any structure to go up incrementally within your grade unless you change jobs and if you are already at a higher Process grade you're knackered. Morale, overall, where I work is awful with very few willing to put any effort in.

Good work/life balance is promoted.

Operations/Maintenance Manager (Current Employee) - London - 11 September 2019

There is a lot of travelling involved due to the wide geographical area covered in the London & Thames Valley area. The management is very supportive in promoting your well being and professional development. You get to visit many lovely sites in the countryside.

Poor payers

Utilities (Former Employee) - London - 13 February 2019

20K a year Working in foul...! Live traffic if that's not bad enough try driving a LGV that comes with all the added hassles, possible fines and the poxy call out rota To top it all it's in London as if the cost of living is bad enough. My advice is to avoid until they wake up and pay a decent rate.! You could always apply for their cushy office jobs stay very clean get a silly title do very little and get payed better.!

Pros

iN/A

Good workplace to build your carrier.

TECHNICAL LEAD (Former Employee) - London, ENG - 6 July 2015

Good workplace to learn multiple technologies. Wipro is a service based organisation hence got an opportunity to work with different clients around the globe. High level management like leads and project managers guidance is helpful to grow within the company. Employee centrist and salaries were moderate comparing to other companies however they provided many benefits.

Pros

Free transportation

Cons

Long working hours and less pay scale
