      Pros

      One team business ethic now embedded, career opportunities broad due to the number of internal businesses. Eg Expanded, Crown House, Select etc.

      Cons

      Too process driven, resulting in numerous 'blockers' to perform some everyday tasks. Too many levels of authority for procurement which can lead to delays in the process. Work / life balance not prioritised.

      Pros

      Friendly and professional people. Great pension scheme in place. One of the major players in the UK construction market.

      Cons

      Salaries are ok, but benefits package could be better. More flexibility required in the benefits offered. Only 1 month's notice either way, should you leave. That can be good or bad!

      Small cog in a massive machine.

      Pros

      If you are able to join as part of the graduate program, they appear to really look after you. Graduates seem to get good training and an accelerated career path, as well as access to the inner circle.

      Cons

      Laing O’Rourke is a very large company and there is a definite feel of being a very small cog in a massive machine. There is definitely a case of certain employees being treated better than other, and it’s not based on anything professional. I had also recently changed divisions within Laing O’Rourke, where I had been promised a pay rise and a better position. After 7 months, the company went back on that on that promise, against the recommendation of my line and area managers.
