We really love that you recognise the team in Barnsley as 'amazing', thank you, we really appreciate that! Many of our sites operate on a 24/7 basis due to the needs of the client so we need to operate on shift patterns. We aim to offer flexible working where we can and would encourage you to speak to your local HR team to find out what options are available to you.
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.
