"Project Engineer"
StarStarStarStarStarRecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOPros
Great benefits and well taken care of by employer.
Cons
Skanska is a huge corporation and does not offer a lot of room for growth in your career. If you want to invest 20 plus years to move up then this would be the company to do that with.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Skanska full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Professional organization with strong ties to construction industry. Huge opportunity to capitalize on well-structured business strategy.
Cons
Management focus is lacking a clear direction while living under the Skanska construction umbrella without utilizing benefits of an in-house engineering firm. Treated as two separate entities. No clear strategy on developing new work relationships.
Advice to Management
Promote leaders with vision into managerial roles, and mitigate influence of managers maintaining status-quo. Be engaged with employees and help each other rather than dealing at arms length.
