Pluspunten

Why I joined: I joined Actuation Lab because of the company’s eco-friendly aims (reducing emissions in industry). Workload: The deadlines are generally reasonable, and it’s also very lovely to be thanked for my work – employees are not taken for granted. On average, my workload is reasonable (with some periods being busier than others). I appreciate seeing directly how my work is benefitting my colleagues and the company in general. Company processes: Some of the company’s policies and processes are still a work in progress, which may seem confusing at first, but the admin team is striving to get more and more things in place as the company is evolving and expanding. It’s a steep learning curve for a start-up! Company culture: I was pleasantly surprised by how every employee always takes the time to explain things to other team members who have a different skill set. This means I’m never afraid to ask questions! CPD is encouraged at Actuation Lab, with training opportunities. The company aims for more diversity in its workforce, but that’s a work in progress. Everyone’s input is appreciated, as long as it’s constructive, so you can speak your mind (respectfully of course). Caring for every team member, as a human being, is one of the big values of the company, so support is offered to employees who are going through a hard time, whether physically or mentally. Socialising together is a big part of the company culture – fun team-building activities are organised several times a year, and achievements are often celebrated with food & drinks. Final words: I can say that I’m proud to contribute to the success of the company and I'm happy that my work is being valued.

Nothing that would put me off working there. Things that can be improved are being worked on.

Pluspunten

Interesting engineering /mechanical product design

Minpunten

This is possibly the worst run company I have ever worked for. The management are terrible, CEO is a bully, they give power to the most inexperienced people who have no idea on what they are doing, they accept bullying in the office, and do nothing, and if someone speaks out of turn coincidently they are “made redundant” - they have accepted lots of money and made nothing, laying 8 of us off recently

Thank you for sharing your perspective. I take any concerns about behaviour and culture very seriously, especially when they involve me directly however, I do not recognise the situation you’ve described, and we do not have any internal record relating to these incidents. I do want to be clear that bullying has no place in our organisation and goes against the values we work hard to uphold. We are committed to fostering a respectful and supportive environment for all colleagues. If you ever felt otherwise, I regret that, and I would always encourage you to raise them directly at the time, confidentially with a member of our Leadership Team so they can be properly addressed. If you would like to discuss this further, then please do reach out to a member of the Leadership Team directly. I remain committed to listening and learning, and I wish you the best in your future endeavours. Yours sincerely, Simon Bates CEO, Actuation Lab

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review. We are pleased to understand that you feel you are given the freedom to tackle problems without restriction. Our first core value at Actuation Lab is “Learn and Adapt” and we believe one of the key ways we can achieve this is by giving employees decision making abilities without micro-management. We absolutely acknowledge however that too much freedom can risk leading to a chaotic feeling environment, so thank you for your feedback. We are now taking greater care to communicate top company goals regularly, so employees are clear on how their work contributes to the company direction and have now developed an ISO9001 accredited quality management system, which is helping to add stability. Warm regards, Simon Bates CEO, Actuation Lab
