Pros

Generally the teams on the ground are great and people work really hard Nice office if you work at Canary Wharf Can work from home a day a week Products and services are interesting, particularly Energy Solutions

Cons

Too much change for people to handle Conflicting priorities; everything is urgent and must be done NOW Command and conquer management style - don't think for yourself, just do as you are told If you try to show initiative some will consider you a threat Everyone is too busy to improve and change The culture of the different divisions is still very disparate. People still consider themselves from 'International Power' or 'Balfour Beatty Workplace' or 'Cofely'. Culture of covering ones backside means that lots of rework happens to protect your own department. No trust across divisions
