Skanska: Underpays but rarely fires

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Once you're in, you're in.

Cons

People are rarely fired, even if they are bad for the company. It makes those of us who give a damn hate our jobs

Has Become a Greedy Corporate Giant

Business Outlook

Pros

Great Benefits including Employee Stock Options and a genuine commitment to safety.

Cons

In a nutshell - too many hours of uncompensated work. For many years the unspoken company policy was hard work = big reward. The past several years that hard work has not been rewarded. I've been at Skanska a longtime, long enough to say that focus is no longer on the employees but rather the shareholders. Bonuses used to be a generous carrot on the stick. Now they are nothing more than fantasy. Any claims of work life balance are likely from employees that do not own a pair of work boots.
