Pluspunten

Good work-life balance particularly in Boscombe.

Minpunten

- Bullying culture condoned and endorsed by some leaders, particularly at Boscombe. - Unnecessarily complex, poorly designed and integrated processes and build up of legacy systems combined with a lack of timely training and information about how to use them. - Divisive and backstabbing behaviours role modelled by some managers. - Everyday rudeness and disrespect is commonplace in the way colleagues speak with each other. - No concept of teamwork. - Lack of commercial astuteness including at senior levels. - Arrogance and lack of responsiveness towards customers. - Poor induction, bullying mentor who routinely publicly humiliated me and intimidating colleagues to ask questions of when new. - No exit interview. - No reward or incentive for taking on extra responsibilities. - Only 5% pay increase per level promotion resulting in some being paid significantly below the UK average for roles once in QinetiQ. No financial incentive to stay. - Please consider very carefully whether you really want to work for this company - the culture can take a significant toil on one's confidence, health and well-being.
