    I have been working at Bilfinger full-time (More than 3 years)

    Pros

    None whatsoever. This companydoes not care about it's employees.

    Cons

    Do not work for this company if you value your mental health. Bullying is rife and bad behaviour is the norm - as long as the job goes out on time, then anything goes. As for performance determining your progress - forget it. If you want to progress you need to be tight with your line manager.

    Cliquey, unprofessional and completely lacking in concern for the wellbeing of employees. I'd rather be on the dole than work for this company.

    Pros

    .... I'll get back to you on this. There isn't much in the way of pros, since they have left the OCA

    Cons

    Your just a number, and you will be dropped if you don't jump through every hoop that HR/logistics set. You can and will be made redundant "Due to a downturn in work" if your not a good boy !

    Advice to Management

    Stop treating your employees like dirt, invest in them. Your a services company and your employees provide the service, they are not tools !

    Pros

    I've had the opportunity to work for a few different well known organizations and I can honestly say I have never had the wonderful experiences I have thus far at Bilfinger.

    I have yet to see a con. Bilfinger is professional and invests in its employees.
