Vantaggi
Skilled, approachable employees that could be working under far better conditions and earning a larger salary if they left.
Svantaggi
- Chastised and ridiculed in front of office by Partner on daily basis - Informed I had an attitude problem despite working many hours unpaid overtime every week - informed I had a learning problem despite a plethora of notes taken and professional development made that evidences otherwise, with job speed constantly increasing each project - constant tense and toxic environment under the partners - constantly made to feel stupid - not doing unpaid overtime warned as being sackable - below average pay - partners notoriously toxic within Aberdeen civil engineering community. Agents I've spoken to knew who I was speaking of by name without me mentioning partners as culprits. Apparently other Aberdeen consultancies are chalk full of ex fairhurst employees - company as a whole notoriously toxic, as all online research shows e.g glassdoor - threatened with not receiving my 1 weeks notice pay for speaking up for myself when sacked - had a panic attack one morning as a result of work and couldn't make it in, was informed by a partner that if it were up to them I'd have been sacked for that - only regret is not sticking up for myself in fear of getting fired, will be a valuable lesson for my career.
