Megger

Being 1 of 2 people who know how to do what I do at work makes it feel like a challenge sometimes, but it has given me the opportunity to see how I handle responsibilities and that I may even be able to move forward in the company because of it.

The people I've met at work are fantastic and I'd consider the vast majority of them to be my friends, but sometimes when you talk to management and higher ups it feels like talking to a brick wall. Most of the problems occure when you are talking to someone who had been there since they were a baby about something you have knowledge of but they refuse to accept you know what you're talking about, this causes a lot of hassle and back and forth.

Overall I would say its a good place to work as long as you don't have to communicate with others outside of where you work.

Until recently the place was exceptional place to work with old style Engineering values at the core with Directors who commanded respect for the their accomplishments in turning the business round.

Unfortunately, due to location of the site it proves extremely difficult to recruit quality people and recent retirements from the board means replacements have been the best from a very poor selection list. Directors seem engaged more in their own political standing in the eyes of the holding company than belief in the brand and developing the business.

Staff morale is low and the Directors are totally detached from the feelings of the staff. Not a happy place to work!

This was a my first engineering job and in truth, it wasn't a great start. Granted I did receive on the job training and get to meet everyone who seemed keen to teach my about the position, however as time went on it became more and more apparent that this wasn't for me.
Due to internal changes that made me move from one team to another and being put on projects that I was only made aware of a few hours before and having high expectation that I was also not made aware of. The culture is stressful and irritating at best, I worked well with the people I was put in a team with however other people seem to have a good way to get on your nerves.

In short megger wasn't a good career start.

A typical day here means not being able to hear yourself think. It's far from a productive engineering environment - more like a chaotic call centre. People shout over one another with their headsets on, crammed too closely together.

Their version of Agile? Extreme micromanagement paired with unrealistic deadlines.

Career development? Forget it - there’s simply no time.

The company values are meaningless buzzwords designed to mask the reality: relentless focus on growth and profit. Apparently, throwing a few inspiring verbs around is supposed to make it all feel worthwhile.

Given that Megger is so respected in the market, I was very surprised to see how poor their attitude towards QA is. The culture throughout the company appears to be one of finding excuses not to apply QA processes which are considered normal by 21st century standards. This is particularly prevalent in engineering where new products are consistently delivered years late and full of bugs, leadership is weak and full of hubris with strong minded individuals continuously allowed to carry on unchallenged to the detriment of the project.

Don't expect any thanks if you make a helpful suggestion, this is very much a shoot the messenger type of organisation.

It was a very productive place to work where you were expected to get on with your work but it was laid back and a comfortable place to work. It was always easy to find someone for help and people just let you get on with what you were doing and didn't bother you unless they needed to.

It used to be a good place to work but over the last few years things have changed for the worse. Some people are constantly under pressure when other people are seem to be allowed to do nothing but stand around having a chat. Too many silly new ideas have been bought in which cause more problems than they solve and now they’ve started getting rid of people and are giving more and more work to outsiders. It’s as if they don’t trust their own staff anymore.

Started off well enough when I joined, but didn't last long and had enough of the place after a while. Some colleagues get away with things, as case of 'If your face fits...' 
Too many managers as well. Poor morale amongst the workers when I left. 
Working hours were good though. And nice location. 

As I was Employed as a Senior Tech, I had a different experience to the Assembly Workers, but the same amount of pressure is applied to all Employees. The Work for me was very satisfying, but Management left a bit to be desired, or did in my time there.

Megger is a well stablished company with more than 50 years in the market. This year we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the company. 
It is a manufacturer of electronic testing equipment with manufacturing sites in many places in the world.
