Business Analyst Intern
The workplace I recently experienced was a true oasis for professionals seeking an extraordinary blend of fun, productivity, and intellectual stimulation. From the moment I stepped foot into the vibrant office space, it became apparent that this organization had crafted a work environment like no other.
Hopefully things will change for the better, but like a lot of investment company owned SMEs, too much focus on new contracts and increased production, rather than getting the basics of capacity/redundancy balanced, and simple incentives and job satisfaction for exisiting employees. Awkward commute, low wages considering, bonuses, if still paid, not fair in my opinion and experience. Was slightly better before the company was taken over by bankers. Shame.
Returned here after a different contract was offered at Babcock. Gained many new friends in a hangar environment. Fast paced but relaxed in the view that you are treated well and respected for the work you do.
The hours are long (07:00-17.30 Mon-Thursday 07:00-15.30 Friday). The training is non-existence or only occurs being taught by someone who has being doing the job a week longer than you. Targets for the number of parts to process in a day is unrealistic and often you are not given enough work to do so your target cannot be met. The project leader gives you no encouragement or training whatsoever. Generally an awful place to work.
Amazing and educational job. Taught me a lot from logistic skills to mechanical engineering skills. Excellent pay and management. Overall a brilliant place to work. 48 hour weeks have prepared me and helped me establish a routine for the world of work.
