MKO Reviews

company taking on too many people too fast and can't support them not enough desks available kitchens always mobbed for lunch an no one cleans after their food very difficult to get a straight answer on procedures eg inputting timesheets and expenses answers change depending on who you ask from departments to sub teams to pods. No set standards, working nights and not knowing what time to put back -nitpicking on timesheets, filling it in in 10 minute increments to fill up a full working week massive turnover, everyone I talked to just started there or was looking for a new job. People leave every week desperate gossiping in the place about other people - project level staff shouldnt be saying private stuff about team members wages very low compared to other companies. Time in lieu is very scattered, sometimes you get it back sometimes you don't. There could be 6 people in the same pod all doing it different. Had to work extra hours but no compensation or appreciation. -company cars are nuts, people take them without booking so you'veno choice to use your own car on destroyed roads hard to get hold of managers to ask questions Hard to have a social life when your site work always changing last minute Place is turning into a machine,lost the culture,just turning a profit and staff are only cogs

Underpaid. Underpaid. Underpaid. I was an environmental scientist with nearly 2 years experience on 30-32k. For a job that required a 4 year degree, it will make you struggle financially. Factories pay far better. There is huge demand for environmental scientists, ecologists and ornithologists in other consultancies as a subbie. They pay you an MKO weeks wage in one day if you have the experience. Lack of loyalty in the air. They close the company for Christmas but you had to save 3 of your annual leave days to accommodate this?? They put an emphasis on positive company culture (which there was to be fair) and spent spend thousands on staff trips but it came across as a cheap way of saying "we value you" when wages were so poor and we could all see how much money the company was making.
