Pros
If you are able to join as part of the graduate program, they appear to really look after you. Graduates seem to get good training and an accelerated career path, as well as access to the inner circle.
Cons
Laing O’Rourke is a very large company and there is a definite feel of being a very small cog in a massive machine. There is definitely a case of certain employees being treated better than other, and it’s not based on anything professional. I had also recently changed divisions within Laing O’Rourke, where I had been promised a pay rise and a better position. After 7 months, the company went back on that on that promise, against the recommendation of my line and area managers.
