Pros

Cash card with cashback from some retailers, Bupa healthcare plans, Cycle to work scheme, discounting 30% on EE. Cosco membership entitlement, employee pays Cosco card membership.

Cons

taken over by GXO 2 years ago unrealistic targets, forced overtime, poor planning systems. Everything promised by GXO on takeover has not come to fruition as of yet (better vehicles, better planning, more investment, better equipment) Management attitude has fully changed as hr refuses to address any issues supporting the management team fully creating a closed shop with bullying and a bad working environment. They wouldn't act this way before as they would have been held to account via my last employer. I never felt so unsupported in any role I've ever been in. This has caused terrible poor mental health issues and the lowest morale I've seen from the team of hardworking drivers I have worked with in the past 8 years. I cannot recommend this company and would tell people to steer clear unless dramatic changes were to happen.

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.
