Pros
Over the course of the past few months there has been a recognisable focus on culture by the UK HR team. They are striving to offer employees a wider range of benefits and introducing more initiatives and focus on things like mental health - it heralds a much more positive future for the UK RINA community. There is a way to go, but it is an excellent start, People have always said that it is the people who have kept them at the company - our specialists are some of the best out there, work is varied, but more importantly, lasting friendships are built here. There is an effort to support our younger members of staff and graduates, to make them feel included and value the experience they bring to the table.
Cons
Pay is not great considering living costs in some of the locations we have offices, but depending on your motivation, this could be counteracted by the experience of the staff you have access to and the future possibilities the company's growth plan could produce. With so many changes in structure, procedures can be lengthy due to hierarchy and global strategy - which it could eb argued would be true of many international companies undergoing fundamental change, but with a new CEO in place, hopefully within the next few months we will see things move forward at a more progressive pace. Despite the high turnover of staff, over the past year we have seen a couple of staff who previously left return.
