Pros

Skanska is a company with competitive salaries, high moral value, integrity and an excellent record for safety which is critical for a construction management firm

Cons

Due to its sheer size, there is little contact from Senior management with the employees and it can often create the feeling of isolation on projects as is common with construction firms

Pros

The business model that Skanska is like no other. The benefits of Commercial Development, Building, Civil, and Infrastructure Development provides opportunities to learn and different areas of the construction / real estate industries. Commercial Development provides additional projects for Building, and Infrastructure Development provides projects for Civil, however these projects are not your typical owner/contractor relationship. The benefits are good for a large company, and the work-life balance is typical of a large construction company.

Cons

The people that end up in senior leadership positions need to be trained better. Some of these people lack basic leadership, communication, and/or knowledge. As with any large corporation, Skanska moves slow and is very ridged in what they do.
