Poor Progression, High Turnover - werkgeversreview Design Engineer bij Ramboll

The Danish arm of the business formed Ramboll UK from two fairly successful UK companies where now the UK business no longer turns a profit. Gloomy Outlook with consistent erosion of benefits even if HR tries to hide it by sending confusing letters to staff. Demands 95% productivity where realistically in the industry it is just under 80%; therefore unpaid overtime. Pay is so low that it is difficult to recruit let alone retain talented staff. As a result often senior staff are recruited to fill associate roles and their lack of management skills are reflected in the projects. Progression is good in London in junior roles but staff turnover is high so it seems difficult to progress in the regional offices. The work life balance is better in Denmark but in my team there was a lot of extra ciricular tasks around billable work. A chaotic management structure with no one knowing how a business should be run.
