Bewertungen für Skanska

Pros

Safety is always the number one concern Decent pay, following the market Good benefits in terms of for example stock options.

Kontras

When I worked there, there was a big big rift between management and the operational workers. They just didn't seem to get along, which seems like a big issue in this business overall.

Adhering above mentioned problem. Understanding your employees motives and drives is key. More team-building that involves people from different levels of the hierarchy. Perhaps do something about the strict hierarchy, which is likely not limited to just this company, but to the business as a whole.

Pros

Good supportive teams and management Good opportunities to be developed Good salary Challenging and interesting projects Work life balance is great!

Kontras

Inconsistent approach to staff climbing the ladder - you often find CM's and PM's performing the same role The management approach is soft which is ultimately (in my opinion) is making the company less profitable The roles are mixed, a CM could be expected to do:- site management, package management, design management and be heavily involved in the commercial reviews. When an individual is trying to do all of the...

Focus on inspiring the most talented Split the roles and define them more - package management and construction management are 2 different roles and should be split Design management is key - every project should have a strong cable design manager

take a chance of the available and future technology

Pros

Very good benefits, even better people. Top to bottom, Skanska (civil) probably has the best construction minds in the industry. They have some great development programs (if they think you're good enough for them) and tend to avoid layoffs even through difficult financial times. Very financially stable company.

Kontras

The company in the US struggles to adapt to its Scandinavian parent company's culture. Corporate says they offer flexible working arrangements, but individual offices heavily discourage it. The last two Civil Presidents (Mike Cobelli, Rich Cavallaro) were fantastic leaders and let go after a couple megaprojects went badly.

Try to recognize the potential in your young leaders and let them take on more responsibility. Be open minded about flexible working arrangements to attract the best young people. Change bonus structure to be more office-based rather than division or business unit based.

Pros

Location, well organised, good projects

Kontras

Poor management, poor work life balance, no appreciation

Rat an das Management

Be more respectful
