Pros
The people are so nice & friendly - everyone was very welcoming when joining. Good benefits (BUPA), discounts, 7% pension match. Good company culture, fun office events and Early Careers events/network. £1000 welcome bonus. Very diverse new hires. Big grad/apprentice intakes each year which is fun - met some great coworkers who I’d just call friends now. Office is great and visiting other big offices they all seem really nice. My office building offers many free activities including Pilates, yoga, sound baths etc.
Kontras
Wish salary was higher, but I guess that applies for all engineering jobs in the UK. Depending on what team you join, you can be extremely busy or have nothing to do. The team I joined is understaffed so I’m constantly busy which is a lot of pressure for my first grad job. However, my other coworkers in the same grad cohort had manageable to no work for the first few months. So depends on what team you join.
