Pros

Really interesting technology, lots of resources, good work life balance and good salary.

Cons

Process heavy sometimes preventing engineers getting the job done. "Sloping shoulder" attitude where colleagues dump their work on you (mainly cause most engineers are stretched). Boys club culture, a lot of unconscious bias and a few outdated attitudes. E.g. people complain about positive discrimination when their are 90% white men in technical roles is a bit bonkers. Not unusual for women to change departments due to a few misogynistic bad eggs, HR aren't active in supporting issues. Issues generally hit a ceiling and aren't resolved.

Pros

Modern offices - 20 years old and currently being refurbished floor by floor. Great promotion opportunities due to a decade of heavy retirement ahead. Flexible and hybrid working in most roles. Cutting edge work. Training is good. Strong focus on Diversity and Inclusion.

Cons

80% onsite working on some projects, and an uncompromising military customer who won't permit work to be done on home accessible networks. Discuss the extent of hybrid working during the interview. No pay differential for onsite working. No Christmas bonus in 2024 for the first time in a decade. Public transport into the Luton site is very poor.
