Vantaggi
Individuals' experience with EPR varied depending on the management team's allocation, project, and resourcing. In my personal experience, I have been on good teams with talented and supportive individuals. They have a good structure.
The technical and BIM teams are great and always ready to help.
The people I have engaged with are genuinely nice and friendly.
Internal EPR teams organise regular staff events after working hours, such as CPDs, yoga, life drawing, football, and general social events.
Good communal area and cyclist facility
Svantaggi
Like every other company, promotions can be political. Some talented, accomplished people (at the general staff level and some associates) operate way above their job description and are overlooked for promotions. There is zero career development, nada. It does seem like there is no equal starting point or opportunity—being excellent at your job is not near enough; you have to be liked by management, too.
EPR fronts in championing EDI, staff development, and retention. They had written a plan for this, and if, according to their plan - 2-3 years in, they have fallen very short of their statement. They are very out of touch. There needs to be more communication between management and staff - if they listen.
EPR is not competitive, nor are they good at retaining staff. There are always farewell emails or leaving drinks.
There are no benefits or incentives.
EPR provide a standard 20-day holiday and minimum pension contribution.
Salary is so-so.
