Negative working environment - Design Engineer AKT II Employee Review

Unprofessional management, senior staff regularly speak badly about other members of staff and other companies Constant expected overtime with no reward Promotions based on years of experience rather than competency so lots of inexperienced senior staff members who have been promoted too early and no opportunity to progress more quickly Salary is below average Projects are seriously under resourced A very negative and unhappy working environment, this could be due to the constant reminders we were all ‘inefficient’ during covid In desperate need of updating IT systems Huge staff turnover, roughly 50% since March 2020 which highlights the ongoing problems with this company Senior management are reluctant to listen to staff members problems and advice, very stuck in their ways and not at all open to change No drive for chartership Very common to get stuck on one type of project due to the way work is won by each design director and delegated to specific teams Difficult to get any site experience or attend external meetings as a design engineer, no real responsibility is given to you for the first few years at least Bullying mentality among a lot of senior members of staff, they make you feel as though you are a resource rather than a team member
