Pros

Good to have on your CV Some diamonds amongst the rough, but they don't stay for long. Good training programmes to develop your skills that you'd like to explore

Cons

1 word = TOXIC! If you aren't part of the clique, don't expect a promotion for that is the only way of being promoted. Don't expect to be listened to either for issue(s) with management. You will not be believed over your line manager even when you've done a decade as a Laing O'Rourke employee and they've been there only a year. They take on Information Managers that are green and have no management skills whatsoever. No bonuses. One guy came in to take over from Ray, he gave us all a pay rise, 2 weeks later he was out the door and Ray was back....if that isn't clear enough of their outlook on their employees then I don't know what is. Remember Laing O'Rourke.... Employees don't quit jobs. They quit: Bad Managers, Low Salaries, Toxic work environments and a Lack of Recognition. Id like to say Congratulations to Laing O'Rourke, for you have the award of all 4 above, Final Thought: Looks good on your CV but they've ruined my mental health. I've lost all my confidence and am a shell of a person I used to be.
