Nice people, horrible training - Assistant Quantity Surveyor MBM (Australia) Employee Review

Decent pay with good culture

May not learn much depending on the team.

A good spread of jobs, work with all different types of construction projects, nice area in the CBD.

Salaries are low and generally below industry benchmarks. Late nights are common, and weekend work is often expected. The culture is not great, and there can be some odd office politics, which leads a lot of people to prefer working from home. Management support can be lacking at times, with workloads often building up and accountability not always being shared evenly when things fall behind. The environment can feel intimidating for new starters and not particularly welcoming, and there is a sense that if you don’t align with expectations, it can be difficult to stay long term, something that seems to affect more junior staff in particular.
