The people and projects are what attracted me

Structural engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

I work in one of the structures teams and the people are friendly and willing to discuss problems, successes, and everything in between As a more junior member of staff, I'm given a level of responsibility that can be at once daunting and exciting. I get to walk to work and there are always activities after work and at lunch, whether that's sports, popping into town, pub, or more.

Cons

- A lot of our learning is 'on the job', which is the best way to learn, but sometimes you can feel overwhelmed. To be honest, it's probably a good thing though. - The support and comradery I get from my team isn't necessarily translated across teams. Something that I get the impression of from speaking to colleagues. - There have been some full and frank discussions between my peers on working on projects that we are proud of, and in a way that we are proud of. Hypothetically, if BHE won the competition to build Trump's wall, I would leave the company. Unfortunately there are jobs that we are working on in countries where there are well known Human Rights violations and inequality which I don't believe are much better.

Buro Happold Response

Hello, Thanks for sharing your thoughts. We're really pleased that you feel you are given a good level of responsibility (that both excites and challenges you), and enjoy working with your colleagues. Regarding projects: there is certainly no intention that BuroHappold should work on any project such as this; this doesn’t align with our principles. We do have a governing body who review all projects to ensure they comply with our Ethics policy. We also have a modern slavery statement to ensure that our work is not associated with human trafficking. As a business, we always want to be promoting ethical projects and are committed to ensuring we continue to do this; through some of our collaborations we’re actually supporting the development of industries away from oil, and leading them into greater integration globally. All the best The BuroHappold Team

Seemed to be getting better last year. But now going backwards

Pros

The engineering projects are top level.

Cons

Lacks leadership. Company hires talented people but many managers don't know how to treat them properly or motivate to get the best. Relies heavily on employee loyalty to projects and clients. Top management is chaotic.

A company that looks better in retrospect

Associate

Business Outlook

Pros

Very relaxed atmosphere. Benefits of being a partnership without the pressure of shareholders. Some very bright people. Good benefits package compared to industry norm.

Cons

Lacks professional behaviour and strong management. Staff seems to get away with anything. Needs firmer control.
