Pros

Salary was one of the better ones I had

Kontras

Forgotten about, promised training that never arrived, just cared about filling a bum on a seat, no career progression, feel I regressed as a tester while working on a client site for Edge, No work/life balance, poor sick pay, Their HR manual had more in about taking bribes than parental leave. placed into a toxic client site and told not to get involved in the politics.

We thank you very much for taking the time to provide this review and we have taken everything that has been said on board and are working on solutions. During the pandemic we did not deliver a lot of training, however we have recently signed up to use Pluralsight for online learning which has over 8000 courses. Colleagues last year completed train the trainer and mental health training. In regards to your experience, we are sorry to hear that training was promised and never delivered – and we have passed this feedback to the operational management team, but can also assure you that the People Team are now managing L&D within our business and are keen to make sure that everyone gets the training they need to excel in their role. We have also brought in new Community practice manager role – who role specially is SDMS to support colleagues working on site and feel part of the edge family. ( we never want anyone to feel like a bum on a seat) As you will appreciate our company handbook is part of the legal framework of working for working with you – however it is very much on our radar in relation to how we can offer more than the statutory entitlement to paternity and maternity across the business. We have in the last quarter increased our sick pay for all new colleagues, and removed the 3 days waiting period for sick pay . Finally, we have a number of new and existing initiatives such as SPOT awards, lunches with the management team to enable ongoing open communication and support to all colleagues.

Pros

Its hard to see any of the positives. Lets get one this straight, Edge are a Consultancy, therefore when an employee is at Client site then they do not have any control of any flexibility, ie start times, working from home etc. The staff make it work, they are good at their jobs and most of them are good to work with. Depending on the contract you do get some flexibility, work from home, start times etc The company pay for your qualifications, which is good and they do offer a semi decent in house training programme, with some proper control could work well. Good place to get some experience and then move on, experienced staff get payed well.

Kontras

Management seem to make up the rules as they go along to suit what they need and they sell it of "BUSINESS NEEDS", thats pretty much there get out of jail card. An example of this is travel expenses, some people get it some dont and they just make it up as they go along. The contract is 37hrs a week but they knowingly put you in client site who want a minimum of 37.5 hours a week, you are expected just to do it. When company have compulsory training / meetings you need to make the time back (they argue it was not there decision and its client) No Sick pay for first 4 days and then for 3 weeks full pay (not the worst thing but can live with that)

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are pleased that you pointed out that our training programme is good. You have recognised that we are a consultancy and as such expect a level of flexibility around working hours to deliver the best service we can to our clients and our contract of employment does state that normal hours of work are 37 per week, Monday to Friday or as required to satisfy the needs of the business and our client. We do discuss working hours and flexibility at interview stage. In return for commitment Edge believes we do offer a competitive salary and excellent training and development opportunities and offer a MINIMUM of 5 days training per year to our employees. Our training schedule and course catalogue is continually being updated and is based on research into needs of digital job roles, our clients and our staff’s personal development plans. We do carry out employee surveys to try and get feedback and we encourage staff to speak to their managers at the one to ones to so we can continue to improve.
