Pros

Global business with lots of opportunities if you are willing to move with the business as they grow and change. Lot's of great people across Australia with vast knowledge and experiences. Big focus on developing talent and driving performance

Cons

High turnover of staff which means things can be great one minute and challenging the next. Fast passed and increasing rate of change can cause issues in communication and company direction. Family based business, who you know is everything and support from the leaders is critical to your survival. Flexible Working and Diversity are still major issues in this organisation. Particularly around women in leadership roles.

Business Outlook

Pros

Having worked with LOR since graduating, I was very happy with my time there. Some great engineer, managers and projects with some very challenging demands. It gives an opportunity to take on a lot of work and learn how to build complicated projects most other construction companies would shy away from

Cons

The hours are long (even for construction) and there is very much a 'who you know' culture to get on to the best projects and be promoted in reasonable time periods
