Skanska Employee Reviews about "long hours"

Pros

staff are friendly and easy to get along with

Cons

long hours and difficulty to speak to some management

Pros

Good training Good exposure A different outlook Support when you shout Great head office Great referral scheme Approachable management and staff Friendly people

Cons

Poor salaries - not in line with market rates Those outside of head office are forgotten HR is poor - either nothing or very little communication at all Lots of change - communication is great but no confidence Long long hours - no thanks, no reward

Pros

Great at offering development opportunities, although a tad lacking in the supporting functions. Project exposure is good and can move departments to gain wider experience.

Cons

Long hours are expected as standard, very political esp within the HR function. They do not lead by example.

Pros

Decent benefits package (car, train fares, 28 days holiday plus BH's, pension, share scheme) and a half decent salary. Will support you academically should you be given the opportunity to do so.

Cons

Long hours on site and a lengthy commute if you're not in the immediate vicinity of London. 14 hours door to door is the norm. Expect longer hours than that at busy periods. It sounds ungrateful but the company car choice is pretty poor.
