Skills
Nope…
Responsibilities
Not much responsibility - I was given bits and bobs given by my line manager. No personal side project.
Support & Guidance
No support/ guidance. My manager didn’t care if they didn’t have to report to the team leader:
Culture
Given we were working from home it was difficult to gauge the atmosphere, however the weekly online meetings seemed formal and people seemed like they didn’t want to be there. I didn’t feel like people enjoyed their work.
Your Impressions
It was a disappointment to feel like no one cared about whether I was on the team or not. I got the impression that most people in the company are not prepared nor engaged for a digital revolution that’s occurring civil engineering industry
No
Really think about which team you want to apply for within this huge company and ask to speak to people in different teams to find out more.
