Pros

I spoke with many other employees in the company and they have nothing but praise for Skanska. They were generally very satisfied and proud to be part of the company.

Cons

Though there aren't many downsides, one of the cons to the job are the long hours and the blurring between personal life and work life.

Pros

Internationally, company has an outstanding reputation and is great for your resume. Company provides excellent benefits, is environmentally aware, and is beneficially involved in the respective location's local community. Company is very competitive in the construction arena which provides a reasonably comfortable level of job security. Company's stated, corporate employment policies are exceptional.

Cons

In some locations, stated policies exist only on paper while a "good, old boy" environment remains from the previous ownership. Non-management, non-technical personnel are treated with little respect and given no defining career paths. Salaries/bonuses for this group are very mediocre (or less) and long hours/weekends are the norm. Management arrogance is encouraged and perks are given to a select few. Standards are uneven, i.e., some get training, some do not, some are recognized for their dedication, some are not, etc...very uneven atmosphere.

Pros

Skanska USA Civil pursues very interesting large projects. Skanska gives me a lot of responsibility but expects a lot in return. The pay is not bad and the benefits are pretty good and the bonuses are ok if the company is making money.

Cons

Most respondents have mentioned the pay. Mine is less than I was making at a previous job and the raises have been less than spectacular, less than I expected. There seems to be a bit of superstructure and I havent seen much nimbleness from the upper management.
