small company and not good projects.

Buro Happold Response

Thank you very much for your feedback. We appreciate the open comments. We are investing in enhancing our leadership capabilities of our line managers and we will continue support them on their progression. The team has been working on some great projects in 2018 across Europe, rather than focusing on projects in Poland only. Going forward while we will continue to do that, we are looking for a balanced approach to continue to work on local projects as well. We are happy to have a confidential conversation if you would like to give us more detailed feedback.
