      I have been working at Kier Group full-time for more than 20 years

      Pros

      I have worked at Kier for over 12 years. There are certainly some challenges faced recently but it feels like the business is moving forward in a positive way. The culture allows individuals to put ideas forward and to think about new ways of working. The people are fantastic. Although not widespread and dependant on role there is a growing acceptance of flexible working which allows for a better work life balance.

      Cons

      There have been a lot of changes which can be unsettling. Systems aren't great. Some processes feel that they are not as efficient as they could be.
