Pros

Only pro was a good pay, Not worth considering the way you're treated there.

Cons

Biased management, Bad hygiene standards - forging their numbers when swabbing machines to ensure they are cleaned to standard. Your manager undermines your authority in front of your team. He would overrule your decision then blame you for not hitting targets. You get disrespected, belittled, When you try to speak to the site lead - he is not interested in solving any issues, You pretty much get blamed for everything - whether it's your fault or not. Manager will send your team members home, then expect you to hit the same target as if you had a full team. You get disciplinaries for being off work for health reasons even if you bring your sick note, prescriptions and medications to your boss. The list is so long I could go on all day. If you have even a little respect for yourself - RUN AWAY AND FAST from this job.

Pros

Great coworkers and talented engineers who genuinely support one another. Opportunity to work on impactful projects and solve real business problems. Exposure to modern BI and data technologies. Strong team members who are willing to go above and beyond to deliver results. Good learning opportunities for self-motivated individuals.

Cons

Leadership and management style can create unnecessary stress and turnover risk. Frequent micromanagement and excessive focus on responsiveness rather than outcomes. High meeting volume reduces time available for focused engineering work. Priorities and stakeholder commitments are sometimes established before consulting the engineers responsible for delivery. Limited trust in experienced employees and their ability to manage their own work. Internal growth and mobility can feel restricted. Work-life balance can be impacted by shifting priorities and urgent requests. Lack of recognition or compensation alignment when additional onsite expectations or workload demands are introduced. Having a non-technical BI manager overseeing technical engineering work can sometimes result in unrealistic timelines, misunderstandings of development complexity, and decisions being made without sufficient technical input.
