EDF reviews

Bad experience that will lead to you unable to get a job elsewhere. No reason to actually do anything, as there are people everywhere who are useless at their jobs being given promotions, or telling you that they can't do the work that you require them to do, with no option to find someone else, as they are the only ones who are qualified. No back up system, no work ethic, no job satisfaction. Instant bubble feeling with everyone within the company completely ignorant of jobs outside of the plant. Limited possibilities to become chartered, and no one interested in helping. Forced to pack lunch or put up with the most expensive school type canteens, half hour break does not give time to get outside of the plant, and all base locations are in the middle of no where. Disconnected management structure interested only in pushing graphs to look good and not getting work done, complete disjoint in communication between departments.

HPC. Dreadful experience that got worse exponentially year on year. Negative, toxic, unsupportive and claiming to be the opposite is the hallmark of my time there. The gradual erosion of autonomy, an aloof and disconnected senior management that repeatedly claimed to be 'floor walkers', the use of ludicrous HR policy, and the use of HR personnel as a buttress to career advancement, the contempt for contractors and the penny pinching of staff benefits (one week paid paternity) whilst the entire project unravels was simply appalling. I've never been in a business with a bigger disconnect in between what it says, and what it does. A dangerous place to work for your mental health and your morale.
