Pros

Some really great people work there, they have a nice staff canteen, the hours arent too long if you are clever about what work you do.

Cons

Poor pay - EC Harris pays well below the competition. I managed to get a 40% pay rise by leaving, only when I handed in my notice did they make me an offer commensurate with market rates. Poor Progression - Even when I had agreed to take on more responsibility and secured a promotion they didnt want to provide a pay rise! Poor training - As any surveyor will know, the APC and training is of major importance, I was promised the world! Actually, I was given very little support. Once I had raised some issues around my job, they provided even less training on the grounds of "you will just get chartered and leave". I was then informed that they dont like to train people for their apc if they havent been there at least 18 months, overall pretty poor! Poor management - well the list above kind of says it all!
