Prodrive

A typical day at work for me would involve anything from building harness's, to reworking damaged looms, to testing and inspecting and mocking up and designing looms.
I've learnt everything I know at Prodrive, taking into consideration that when I started at 16 I knew nothing about electronics and how they worked and now I have a good strong knowledge of electronics including such area's as CAN networks.
My direct management do the best they can to ensure that my work colleagues and I are able to get on with our day to day to the best of their abilities, ensuring that the work load is sorted correctly and the department remains stable.
My current team is t with a good standard of work ability, we also all get on with each other very well.
The hardest part of my job is also my most enjoyable. fault finding and diagnosing, I take great pleasure in finding and solving faults however finding them can be more than difficult at times.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Some of the people and the convenience of its location.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Working with pretentious engineers, poor pay and the blame culture.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Not very good at all. There is a protective nature if you're high up but no thanks if you're not.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Long, repetitive, stressful, micro managed, hot.

There were some good bits but unfortunately stuck-in-their-ways bitter management made the job impossible. All of my fellow team members used to run out crying/lose sleep at night because they had no support and were bullied into feeling incompetent in the role. The actual reason for feeling lile this was management got away with doing as little as possible. When reported issues to HR they didn't take it seriously and said ridiculous comments like 'do you really want to do this near Christmas'

Prodrive is a great place to start a career in engineering, 
everyday there is new challenge with different jobs and different problems to solve. 
During my time at prodrive I have learnt from the ground up in terms of engineering experience.
the most enjoyable part of my job is seeing the end product of all the hard work.

Worked as private housekeeper to the owners.  Fired after complainting about unreasonable hours. Accommodation was part of my job so I became homeless too.
Management at Prodrive showed zero sympathy despite me having done absolutely nothing wrong. 

It was easy going, stressful,

Direct to the task in hand. 

There is a waywood problem, 

If ever I returned any verbal communication will be clearly noted  and signed as witnessed. 

And on high turn over, shifts and any shift change with attitude will be photo documented. 

Very varied work, but ultimately all to do with the nature of their core business. Interesting & challenging projects undertaken, very proactive problem solving & the ability to respond quickly to these solutions, are key attributes. Enjoyable environment to work in, with a good team spirit.

A challenging but very rewarding environment, utilising a fantastic Engineering and QA team, along with a very capable production team.
Very diverse and demanding products and customers ensured that you never rested on your laurels.

I had the misfortune of working for Prodrive as a filler contract. For starters, if you don't know someone there, they don't want to know you and stay in their cliques.amagement are 

Prodrive  is a great place to work if you are willing to put the graft in. Some good people there. I personally think that the manager is a decent dude. Quite competitive work environment with a few jobsworths knocking about. Good range of work
