Pros

Skanska prides itself on its high safety standards. It has a long list of impressive projects and it’s a well known company. The pay is also pretty good.

Cons

Don’t expect to move up much unless you’re an engineer or you know alot of people. I came in with years of experience and a Master’s degree and was unfortunately laid off during Covid, despite working very hard in my role. My manager was largely unavailable and it seemed no one held her accountable for her transgressions at work. I really hope things have changed. Health insurance is expensive so I recommend negotiating a higher offer to offset the cost. They also don’t give much time off, but you can negotiate more.
