Hello there and thank you for leaving us a review, we welcome you’re feedback which is really valuable. I'm sorry you feel that you only get somewhere if a partner. Promotions are reviewed on a yearly-basis where we recognise and reward hard work. We have introduced various L&D programmes to set you up for success, and discussions around your future in the partnership are welcomed which is part of the 'My Career Plan & Objectives' agenda. We're glad to hear you liked the office setting and environment and thanks again for sharing your experience.

Pros

Good place to explore career opportunities and learn new things.

Cons

As always, the senior management is biased to few people. Cannot ignore the office politics. And being a civil engineering firm, there are facilities that are missing. If Company doesn't love you, you just have to love your job. Working hours are defined well. You end up working really late.

Pros

Great flexibility, a modern fresh energy. Great projects.

Cons

Pay progression and promotion not transparent. In large part, ability to progressr relies on ability to network within the company. Does not invest in growth of talent as well as it could.

Hello, thanks for leaving a review. We do champion for employees to take ownership for their career and development, BuroHappold will enable you to take advantage of a wide range of learning opportunities but this is driven by the individual. Our L&D method is the 70, 20, 10 model therefore this is primarily learning on the role. We also have an L&D team that you can speak with if you feel your growth isn't coming along as you envisage, so please do approach the team. We do aim to be as flexible as we can so it's great to know you feel the rewards of our flexible working model.
