Senior Principal Engineer in Melbourne VIC

on 10 April 2017

Professional and reliable

This is a fast growing and well diversified and well placed upcoming division of the parent Company QinetiQ UK - which is a well proven and made up of long established ex government Technology, Science and Research Organisation. Has meant a good work experience with challenging and interesting projects for me.

Consultant in NSW

on 17 October 2018

Customer focussed not employee focussed

Very little room for advancement as the company is top heavy consisting of mates of mates. Education opportunities lacking due to funds not available depending on who you know and what job you are performing. Takes months to get approvals for courses. Contractors are placed in areas that don't suit the skills. Filling holes that customers have identified without analysing the requirements.
