Enjoyable, fun and time passed quickly
Apprentice Mechanic (Former Employee), Taunton – March 22, 2013
Pros: working with friends, motorcycles, never a dull moment.
Cons: there are none.
Not much can describe the aspect of being able to work with what you enjoy the most, that being Motorcycles of all sorts, alongside Co-workers, friends whom see such a world the same way as you.

Too bad Motorcycle show rooms and so forth are going bankrupt at the moment, as the motorcycle world is truly a blessing, there is nothing even remotely like – more... riding a supersports around the A roads, enjoying the sharp and soft twisties. Atkins merely made my love of motorcycles all the more, and thus made me start riding. – less

Productive & Ambitious workplace
Senior Electrical Design Engineer (Former Employee), London – January 31, 2013
Pros: easy to get to work
Cons: the abrupt way in which project was ended even though there was clearly more work to be completed
A typical day amount to about 10 or 11 Hours, redesigning electrical services which for buildings which had previously been rejected by the client.
What I learned is that good engineers are hard to find! and its important that when managing a large team systems are put in place to manage the work to ensure a consistent standard of work is manatained – more... throughout.
My co-workers were a great bunch of guys and working alongside them was a Joy.
The hardest part of the job was to get people from other teams to talk or inform other co-workers with information that would effect their designs. The most enjoyable and satisfying part of the job was to see your section of the project checked and approved by senior management and go out the door on time. – less

Good strategic positioning in the Engg Design offshoring industry, however the growth is evasive.
Resource Manager (Current Employee), Bangalore KA – January 22, 2013
Pros: work-life balance, autonomy, networking
Cons: career progression, job redesign, alternative work arrangements, ability vis-a-vis opportunity
Typical day is filled with mundane tasks, seldom with high challenges working in a defined process'ed' set-up. Good learning opportunities, but limited to technical aspects for an Enginering professional.....little avenues or involvement for learning P&L aspects of the business or role in operations. Management is very good towards staff, building up – more... an easy atmosphere, but lack performance management. Corporate strategy and Bangalore startegy do not align as onshore project leads defer giving projects to Bangalore; hence there is lean growth in headcount.....Leadership keeps on changing.
Co-workers are nice and cordial, but various roles are assumed by a single staff owing to business restructuring, forming a matrix structure....hence, there less cohesion and individualistic culture.
Hardest part of the job is to deliver projects by a collaborative team effort. Team events such as food fest, team outing are most enjoyable. – less
