Sargent & Lundy - Look Elsewhere First - Anonymous employee Sargent & Lundy Employee Review

If you see a job listing for Sargent & Lundy listed as a remote position, know it is to attract applicants to work in one of the offices. Although Sargent & Lundy has positions available online, know there are huge waves of hiring and layoffs, typically every 5 years. Many positions are in anticipation for work we may or may not receive at some point in the future. Office politics play a large role within the company. Although contributing opinions and ideas is encouraged, they are more often scoffed at rather than acknowledged and implemented. It also depends who presents it. Management pretends to be transparent, but it's very selective. If you ask intelligent questions it's like speaking with a political candidate - lies, smoke, redirects. Division managers are bipolar and closed-minded and typically treat staff as personal possessions, trading them like cattle rather than sharing within and outside of work groups or with other offices for the benefit of everyone. (One group or office is hiring while another is laying off.) Staff are required to train themselves in new software as it comes in rather than the company paying for software consulting and training. The company headquarters is located in downtown Chicago where people are victims of violence and theft daily.
