A horrible working environment led by leaders with no morals or values - Anonymous employee Suffolk Construction Employee Review

Pros

The pay and benefits are good.

Cons

I have never been so disgusted by leaders at an organization than I was while I was at Suffolk. They are deceitful and have no morals or values. They rule by intimidation and scare tactics and run their people ragged. People spend countless hours running around and pulling together reports so that leadership can answer to John. No one is willing to stand up for what is right and there is no such thing as loyalty. The leaders at the top have no operational experience and the ship is sinking. It will eventually fall apart just like the Boston bid for the Olympics did. Sad state of affairs.

Pros

I recently joined the company, and even in just a few short weeks, I can confidently say this has been an incredibly positive experience. The people here are truly outstanding and clearly talented, passionate, and deeply committed to the work they do. From day one, I felt welcomed and supported. What’s especially exciting is the opportunity for growth. I’ve already spoken with many colleagues who have moved into different roles across the organization, which speaks volumes about the company’s commitment to development and internal mobility. It’s inspiring to see how careers truly evolve here. The culture is strong across both the field and corporate teams. People work hard, but the work is meaningful and fulfilling. There’s a genuine team-first mindset, wins are shared, collaboration is encouraged, and success feels collective rather than individual. On top of that, the perks and benefits are excellent and thoughtfully designed to support employees both professionally and personally. I’m incredibly excited about the future here and feel energized by what lies ahead. I would absolutely recommend this company to anyone looking for a rewarding career with incredible people and real opportunity.

Cons

N/A - If you enjoy fast paced environments, challenging and meaningful work and working as a team, this is the place for you!
