Pluspunten

Based out in Surrey and has car parking if you drive in Some great minds who are technically brilliant in their fields A good stepping stone if you want utilities experience / knowledge

Minpunten

A toxic / politically charged environment based on who knows who 98% white and they proudly state that they are over and above the diversity levels for that particular locality (Leatherhead) A culture that disrespects the truth and disrespects employees who speak up.

Thank you for your honest feedback. We're sorry that your experience has fallen short of what we would hope for. Specifically in our Operations department we have a strong management team who is leading with care and understanding of their team needs and challenges. Recently we have introduced targeted Coaching which is supporting managers with their leadership style and we have seen great improvements since then. We will continue to find ways to develop our people and ensure strong leadership is in place. If you would like to discuss this further, please do reach out to HR@espug.com, Many thanks.
