Iconic company and brand from the outside but riddled with problems. No on the job induction for new hires, meaning they are left to sink and often get metaphorically whipped by management for things they have not done as they didn't know they either had to do it/not do it OR don't know how to do it. Huge amount of infighting and "I'm alright Jack" attitude. Management style from the 1980s - huge degree of micromanagement and lack of trust in what are good quality, very hard working and under pressure staff. Feels like you're at school and constantly being watched/criticised. Flexibility on hours required (i.e. To do way more than contracted) - root cause lack of direction from senior managers upwards, though no flexibility on their behalf if you occasionally need it. Antiquated systems and process - transformation is often talked about but is actually just bringing things up to the basic level they should be. Multiple incorrect data sources on which you have to rely to make business decisions. The oddest thing is that management do not see the dysfunctional nature of the business though those joining the business can quickly see the inherent issues. Site safety at Gaydon is non-existent and no-one seems to care that the construction zone is a death waiting to happen. Good staff soon get fed up and leave meaning huge level of turnover. There is an annual staff feedback survey which has got progressively worse results however management are quick to 'justify' their scores and blame everyone/everything else but themselves when in most cases this is the first place they should be looking. Avoid at all costs.
