Hello Anon Thank you for leaving this review. It is particularly great to read that you feel you have a voice, something close to my heart in my role as Head of Inclusion & Engagement. So important to enjoy work given it's a big part of our lives so I'm glad to read you feel this way. I note your feedback about the partnership, it can be a complex model to understand and we're working on to ensure greater clarity for everyone. Your feedback is helpful thank you, I'd be keen to understand more if you ever want to talk in more detail. Thanks again for taking the time to come on here and let others know more about life at Buro Happold. Many Thanks Lucy

Pros

Friendly community, good offices, good facilities

Cons

‘Old boys club’ mentality still restricting anyone who isn’t white and male from succeeding without considerable burnout. Lack of respect for non engineering staff.

Hello Anon Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences, it's always disappointing to hear that they may not have been as positive as we'd like. Your comments are hugely valuable. Identifying behaviours which are contrary to inclusion is something we take seriously. We believe respect in the workplace is key. Since this review all senior managers/directors and line managers have participated in our inclusive behaviour workshops as fostering a culture of respect and inclusion is important to us. Thanks again for you time and hope you're enjoying your next move. Many Thanks Lucy

Pros

Get to work with a lot of really intelligent people. Everyone is really friendly across the company. People are welcoming and open to new ideas which makes for great opportunity for multi-discipline projects. This provides excellent opportunities for brainstorming and learning from others leaders in their relevant fields within the built environment. Great corporate culture, employees are well looked after with good amenities and a company that is keen on employee welfare, be that at home or in the workplace. A lot of great projects that are really impactful and have high public profiles.

Cons

This is probably the same in most of the engineering sector but some of the projects can feel less "impactful" and can become a bit repetitive.
