Pros

The Seattle office is great as they host holiday parties and give great bonuses every year. Skanska is great to any operations worker (i.e. project engineer, project management, union workers). Great new offices. Management gets to travel a lot between offices.

Cons

It is not a great place for any other positions such as Project Accountant, Admin, Marketing. Management treats non-operation position unfairly. There is a huge gap in salary between the two. They only recognize operation positions for hard work and not others. Your job is project based, so if the company has no more project, you maybe out of a job!

Pros

Growth and financial stability. it was interesting working for the mi business unit. corporate skanska culture has not yet been adopted in the united states. it will take time but they are dedicated and are getting the states up to speed

Cons

skanska usa is not yet up to speed on the corporate culture. business units are still running the way the company they acquired. which causes frustration with upper mgt. because they are not changing with the new corporate culture that should be adopted. hard to relocate depending on what unit unit you are located in. get to the headquarters
