Waste of my career being here. Awful management behaviour. - Engineer Cundall Employee Review

Pros

None at all. Really poor pay. The way they cut salaries by 20% at the start of covid but then secretly gave some groups their money back is shady at best. In my experience they do not care about people despite the mantra. The quality of the marketing of projects far outstrips the actual quality on some projects.

Cons

Do as you are told, go out and get smashed talking rubbish in the pub, be one of the lads and then..... if your face fits it seems as though you get somewhere in this company. Be excellent at your job, be polite, be respectful and you'll just get loaded up with more work whilst management laugh behind your back. I have seen so many good people leave and / or overlooked for promotion. This company kills careers (and seems to enjoy it). Its no surprise the last two years of new partners is a roll call of who goes out drinking and do as they are told (whilst having not really achieved much for themselves). On a plate would be an apt description. The turnover of staff is shockingly high. Way way way above any industry measure. Seeing the internal HR push to get staff to come and be positive on here needed addressing. I find it a selfish and nasty environment. They do not care whose career they damage or who they abuse mentally. HR are aware or if not must be pretty poor at their job. All offices are the same. When you talk to people in other offices the feelings seem to be the same.

Great support team and I was always busy with tasks to complete

Due to the variety of different projects each for a short amount of time, getting to know people well was difficult!
