Pros

Rubbish pay. Nothing else I can think of.

Cons

Managers exhibit excessive control, making life difficult for newly qualified engineers. The pay does not reflect the workload, and managers often seem insincere, consistently covering their own interests.

Balancing family life becomes challenging and unhealthy, with a constant focus on mistakes and instilling fear.

The job, often perceived as a mere factory worker role by higher-ups, involves complex tasks in the gas and electric sector. Daily changes require engineers to adapt continuously, but dealing with administration, tasks, driving, and management proves frustrating.

Overall, it's advisable to steer clear of this company, especially if you come from an ethnic background, where disparities in treatment are evident. White privilege.

Advice to Management

Need to improve management skills.

Managers indirectly laughing on the phone.
