    What’s it like working at Smiths Detection?

    AI summary of recent reviews

    Employees at Smiths Detection appreciate the nice colleagues, the good environment for new joiners, and the freedom of work and liberty to experiment with new ideas.

    However, there are potential challenges, such as concerns about the lack of leadership and the company's inability to cultivate a culture aligned with its organisational values, limited career progression and a lack of development programmes, a heavy workload with responsibilities potentially outside of job descriptions, confusion about the roles and responsibilities of the HR and internal communications teams, and robust processes across various functions that can be challenging.

    Talk the talk but don't walk the talk
    The good thingsA few colleagues are nice.
    The challengesThe lack of leadership is infuriating. The top management team is incapable of cultivating a culture that's aligned with their organisational values. Very political and individuals who work hard and know what they are doing will not be rewarded. Only works well for people who don't have much to boot and only know bootlicking. Definitely no career progression, no development programmes. Have absolute no idea what the HR and internal comms teams are doing most of the time.
