Good place to start, poor place to stay

Pros

Flexi time and leave. Good apprenticeship and graduate schemes. Good local management.

Cons

Progression is nearly impossible. It is not unusual to find people who have waited over ten years for an upgrade. There is a serious lack of investment which is noticeable in the staff, the IT equipment and the buildings in general. Salaries are below local average and do not compare to other local similar companies. Retention is poor. A heavy recruitment of graduates results in the middle people having to train people more while their workload increases as people leave. Once off the graduate and apprentice schemes, progression stops. Few training opportunities.

Pros

Leonardo is a great company to work for with lots of benefits and I have always found the right career opportunities have come along at the right time. I've also found the work interesting. There's great flexi hours (start anytime between 7 & 9.45am and finish between 3 & 7.30pm and finish from 12pm on a Friday) so there's great flexibility suiting everyone. You can also build up 8 flex days per year. The company has a job family framework where you can identify what jobs are at what level and what the salaries for the levels are. The people are friendly and always willing to help.

Cons

Sometimes decision making can take too long.
