Pros

Good Benefit Package, nice office

Cons

In LA, Skanska Civil Inc. is extremely successful, wins projects, and has a good reputation, but Skanska Building Inc. is not performing at the same level. They speak with clients, but they don't have a strong presence in LA or a team to manage a project. The company sometimes reminds me of the Roman Empire: Just like the Roman Empire, this comapny is too large to govern effectively. Getting a promotion is a dream. People don't get laid off here, but get "de-promoted."

Pros

They used to be among the best. Getting bigger has not meant getting better.

Cons

They used to be among the best but no longer. It is not the same company anymore.

Inefficient, too much 'ass-chewing' bureaucracy, and no innovation.
