Vantaggi
Some good people. Staff turnover is so high, you can get seniority just by sticking around for a year or two. Free coffee and fruit.
Svantaggi
Management think employees are simply interchangeable cogs which can be used and thrown away. They simply don't value skills. Best example? A dozen of us were just TUPE'd across when part of the business was sold. Did we get a leaving do? Did we even get a leaving card saying thank you for work over the last 6 years? Did they even gather everyone round in the office to say goodbye to us? Nope. All the other parts of the business have also been packaged up, ready for sale. Initially Elektron sold businesses which weren't part of its "core business". Now it doesn't actually look like there's a core business at all, except for selling it all and getting cash back to the board. This can only be a good thing for all the various bits, because at least then they might be run competently. There are good people here. The trouble is that mostly they don't stay long, because as soon as they get senior enough to realise how the place works, they tend to leave. No parking on site either - 20 minute walk from the Park and Ride carpark.
