Exova Employer Reviews

I typical day at Exova involves dealing wth all incoming phones and visitor inductions, incoming and outgoing post/parcels as well as logging customers on internal databases for invoicing, organising training courses and preparing training materials.

Logging all new membership clients and making any amendments to existing members. Making travel arrangements – more... for Management. Raising purchase order numbers for suppliers and contractors.

My co-workers are friendly always willing to help if needed. – less

Everyone who works there is looking for a new job. The staff are nice but management can be very unprofessional and unrealistic. Its stressful, low pay and generally an unpleasant place to work.

I organise site audits for a large retailer which involves telephoning the sites located all around the world, organising a suitable date, allocating a suitably qualified and available auditor, planning the travel accommodation and relevant supporting documentation. It is challenging in that some of the sited do not want to be audited so I need to negotiate – more... and equally sometimes the auditors diaries are full and so I have to negotiate their other commitments. The management are supportive and generally give enough training to allow you to perform well. I enjoy the satisfaction of a well planned audit and seeing the process through from the beginning when it is initially booked until the end where the report is submitted. – less

The hardest part of any job is to stay positive when facing negativity.

The co-workers make the job tolerable. You are required to learn a great deal knowalge of the specs that are required for this job. The work is very tedious and monotonous.

Exova is a horrible place to work. The senior leadership (CEO and President) completely destroyed autonomy and any sense of value, accomplishment at the EVP and GM levels. It is not a company that helps their employees grow.

Exova is a diverse testing, consultancy and training company. Certainly the senior management in Middle East wanted to cover as much geographical area as possible, maximise the industry coverage and minimise the resource allocation.

Consequently, multi-tasking was essential. In order to deliver some of the much-needed services to global clients, such – more... as leading hotels, I found myself approaching the clients, preparing detailed proposals, and delivering the various services.

The most difficult part of the job was the total lack of management team-spirit; it was literally every man for himself.

The most enjoyable part of the job was to be able to develop and implement the most basic sales processes and systems, including CRM. Those involved in sales could see and feel the benefits of following simple systems to manage the sales process. – less

Great Place to work,
great people
learn something new everyday

The co-workers are very cooperative
No job security
poor Administration

typical company of good benifits and good workplace, but management has no warning of the personnel when to shut down the operation.

Overall I enjoyed my job and found it interesting and challenging. The only issue I had was with the schedule and the lack of any notice when the expected hours of our work week would change. Also, we would almost never know until the last minute if weekends would be required. All in all a good experience was had and valuable knowledge gained in the – more... UT field. – less

I learned alot about the testing industry. I was given the oppurtunity to experience various new job responsibilites.
