Wood reviews

No incentive compensation program. As soon as you walk in the door it is painfully obvious that you are an employee number, not an employee. All of the senior seller doers who built their respective offices have gotten sick of it and left or moved out of operations into Business Development. In their place has come a generation of sycophants who can't manage anything beyond a spreadsheet. Absolutely no client focus. The constant push for utilization at all levels creates a culture that is prone to over-billing clients, especially in the public sector. People are leaving daily so they must have the lowest retention rate in the industry. I never felt like I was part of a team.

Wood Group does not seem to understand what they bought in Amec Foster Wheeler and are making redundant/outsourcing their technology services. The brain drain has hurt, and many have doubts we can deliver the anywhere near the level our customers have come to expect before the acquisition. No raises some years, tiny bonuses for top employees, under-market salaries, no money for training. Huge and non-surgical layoffs and the technology talent is already gone or leaving. Industry and company are struggling due to low oil/gas prices.
