Lloyd's Register Reviews

Pros

Being a Charity, all the money we make goes to the Foundation. Global presence and brand recognition. Being in the market since 1760. Great benefit packages. Great focus on clients and people. We share, we care, we do the right thing.

Cons

None I can think about.

Pros

Health benefits package is pretty comprehensive; generally great working culture environment; work-life balance actually exists most days which is a plus!

Cons

Traditionally slow-moving advancement, no fault of any direct management, but may be due to a historical method of doing things.

Pros

Good people to work with even if they really don't understand their job.

Cons

No direction from managers they asked for more and not compensated fairly, management do not understand workloads, management do not understand how to manage, major pay gap, laughable internal audits, put pressure on only a few individuals leading them to break.

Advice to Management

replace yourselves

Pros

Good healthcare and safety culture strong. Core values around sharing our knowledge and expertise to make the world safer We care we share and do the right thing

Cons

Low compensation and bonus structure in place. Below cost of living increases Career pathways and succession plans unclear

Pros

-Great benefits -More days off than any other company I've ever worked for -Great work/life balance

Cons

-UK based company so all decisions for what is 'best" for the region has to get prior approval from the UK. It is a joke to get anything actually done. There is actually no one person in charge so no one takes responsibility for anything so the wheels just keep spinning without any traction. LR is part of a foundation but the way management runs things I cannot see how the company is still in business. Very top heavy...

Advice to Management

Take time to listen to the people who actually do the work. When implementing any process or system talk to multiple countries and make sure there is a fair representation from all areas.

Pros

Few co-workers (at lower end of ladder) are good people.

Cons

The below instance will give an overview of the ethics of LR top management and the next likely CEO. About a decade ago, One Specialist in far east was not very happy with non-British surveyor and this non-British surveyor was asked to leave. This non-British made a mistake in informing LR about his next employer. And the likely next CEO (as of Today) called up someone in the next employers office and threw some false...

Pros

Great team, great place to self development

Cons

bad timing to go here if you're in the O&G industry

Pros

The support staff is great.

Cons

The rules change. I’ve never worked for a service provider that felt internal meetings were more important than customer meetings. The micro management was unbelievable. What was once flexible work environment became rigid. The insurance is expensive.

Advice to Management

Train your managers. Make sure they understand the market they work in. Make sure your employees have a path to grow their career.
