Pros

Better than being unemployed .

Cons

Human Resources kept decreasing our benefits. We had our medical insurance added to our payslips then taken out of our salary. Our pensions were reduced and my pay increases did not keep pace with inflation, let alone my peers in other organisations. The worst was that in regional office you do not progress towards chartership, which is the whole point of being on a graduate scheme.

Pros

None. Don't get carried away by the brand name. It's a badly managed child of a global company.

Cons

1. The entire operation is run by the boss' nepotism. Any employees who end up getting hired otherwise, and who don't have a "Yes, Boss" attitude are treated so bad that they end up leaving in a matter of months. The HR has no say in this whatsoever. 2. Increments are totally biased. Boss' favorites get the lion's share, while others end up getting lowest single digits. Employee's merit is not at all considered. 3. Employee's skill, talent or seniority have no imimportance, because if there are layoffs, the favorites survive, and the others, no matter how important their role is, are first to get fired. 4. Bad work environment. Most of the HR policies are openly violated. Employers have no respect for the employees, including seniors and women.

Pros

Great culture on a global level with an interesting Nordic history. Very empowering, ability to rise quickly & get noticed in the UK division if you hang around long enough & make the effort, you will be noticed. Good socialising in London. Good work environment in the London office, hot desking. You can always be confident that Ramboll UK will be ok, because Ramboll Group is very successful.

Cons

UK is not performing financially, which causes quite a lot of stress for Managers. Change weary, there's been a lot of changes in the UK over the last 5 years & the business is constantly trying a new approach/system/management team. Massive employee turnover at a senior leadership level & lower levels. Really low salary levels in the UK.
