Pros

Its a great place with an informal culture to work, espacially if you are a rail enthousiast.

Cons

Unfortunately it is a stock market company, which means that decisions are taken based on short term yields instead looking to invest in the long term.

Pros

Very knowledgeable people, interesting projects

Cons

No clear vision/strategy, desperate clinging to cash cows that are running dry, no incentive to learn/become more efficient due to focus on declarability

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We really appreciate the feedback you have detailed, both positive and negative. We’re glad to hear that you have enjoyed working with our talented employees and that you find the project work here interesting. To address your other concerns, we know that it is important that we provide a positive working environment and that employees feel represented and led by a management team that they support. However, it is understandable that, with some decisions, employees may not agree with the company’s choices, but these are made in the best interest of our goals as a company. If you wish to discuss anything further, we encourage our employees to be open with their Team Leaders or a member of HR about their concerns.
