Wood Group Reviews

Pros

Genuine about their core values, Experienced people willing to help Assist with your training Some great people to work with

Cons

None worth mentioning that matter

Pros

Good technical work, high quality work, young team, worked on major projects.

Cons

Bit of a data monkey, didn't see the big picture, more training would beneficial.

Pros

Dynamic company, that is willing to adapt in a low oil price world. Willing to innovate and look beyond traditional oil and gas. Plenty of opportunities to move between offices. Good salaries.

Cons

An large portion of the business is still Oil and Gas. Little / no expenditure on R&D or overheads. All work done must be billable. IT has been outsourced and it takes days to get basic issues sorted. No wage growth in this environment. Poor work / life balance. Often have to work overtime to meet client deadlines. Health and safety is neglected to meet deadlines. Boring office environment with little to no perks.

Pros

Some of the best people I have worked with and will keep connected to most of them. Opportunities to learn.

Cons

Management struggled to adapt to company size change during the boom years and is now going through changes due to the downturn in the economic climate and are struggling to adapt to that situation.

Pros

This is a company that truly wants to do an amazing job. They hire good quality people and are doing much more in recent years to try to develop them. Everyone is really friendly and there is a high care factor for people. Attention to health and safety is unrivaled in the industry.

Cons

As a service company, struggle to make vision a reality and cut costs from the wrong places. A lot of the systems and processes are out dated and clunky. Lack of strategic direction - people seem to be working in silos.
