RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at Faithful + Gould full-time for more than 5 years
Pros
High levels of responsibility and trust Solid teams of highly skilled staff There’s nothing F+G can’t do - you just have to find the right person is the company. Lots of opportunity to work on diverse range of projects in alsorts of sectors. Best training support anywhere. Fair way of supporting people who help themselves.
Cons
Usual downsides of working in a big organization. Some resistance/inflexibility to operating outside of standard company protocol. Company internal procedures and training can be a bit well corporate and not necessarily 100% relevant to the project you’re working on.
Advice to Management
Encourage more communication between teams to facilitate cross selling of services.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI worked at Faithful + Gould full-time for more than a year
Pros
Flexible working Satisfaction in handing in your notice.
Cons
Projects are boring and relatively small Staff are brainwashed and cannot see that they are miles behind so called competitors- these competitors are much superior in every discipline and win proper projects in London and surrounding areas. PM staff don’t actually understand how the construction industry operates. Framework orientated consultancy and struggle to bring in new clients/projects. Evident gossiping... (about other staff) at high level which does not set a good impression on younger members of staff. Career will easily drift with no structure. Junior/graduate staff members are brought into projects just to write minutes yet know nothing about construction- don’t bother going to university, just take up an administrator role.

Too far gone- major revamp in management required. Many members of staff have been there too long and are too set in their own ways. Wake up and smell the coffee- the ‘F&G’ way is definitely not the correct way and learn from other construction consultancies as the gap in service is miles apart.

StarStarStarStarStarRecommendsPositive OutlookI have been working at Faithful + Gould full-time
Pros
Good team (for the most part), extremely social, market rate salary and some flexibility with ways of working.
Cons
Systems and procedures heavy, too much focus on completing time sheets and not enough on the end product. Elements of middle management in a certain team need careful review.
Advice to Management
More focus on doing the job for the right price instead of going in cheap and doing a bad job. With so much emphasis on utilisation, there still seems to be an issue with employees without enough to do and this creates stress when it comes to completing time sheets.
