Pros

- Great engineering colleagues and mates. - Salary is higher than industry standard (although  the gap seems to be getting narrower) - Get you through your Chartership quickly. - When starting off, you get to work on a variety of projects.

Cons

- Do not care about people - just made 10 people redundant including 4 Graduates yet business has never been better. - Trevor Jee himself is known by many as a greedy, self-serving, egotistical guy and as the 100% owner and runs the company as a dictator would his country. - In all the years working at the company, I have never been invited out for a beer or curry after work or even been given a thank you by the owner. Ok maybe thats not a big deal for some people, but when you are part of a small team that personal touch is all that's sometimes needed. - The company undertakes regular anonomous surveys and Q&A sessions, but NEVER act upon the important findings, or even worse they deliberately HIDE responses. - I don't like lying to my customers and I am often asked about how many people work with you in the office or site. Marketing seems to have a different view of the world as they quote very different staff numbers from reality, all trying  to impress a customer by making themsleves seem bigger than they actually are.  Again, not a big deal as most of our competitors probably do the same but do they do it to the same extent? Jee blatantly lie  the point of total embarrasment.At the time of writing this post, we are still telling customers we have 100 people!!  In Aberdeen we are down to 7 engineers and zero support staff.  London has about 9 engineers and Tonbridge has appx 17 engineers, plus we have 3 or 4 secondees. - So anyone considering a job with Jee would be best to put their time and energy into an alternative employer - this one cannot be trusted further than you can throw them.  Avoid like the plague.
