If I could have given zero to fairness, respect and compensation I would have. This company promotes and gives raises to the employees that complain the most and work the least. Favoritism is very obvious and very damaging to the work climate. This is one of the companies where you don't get a raise and you aren't even given the time of the day to be explained why. This is also a company that will grade you on jobs that you have never been given clear instructions nor training nor was it in your job description. The management holds grudges and only worried about their salaries and think you should be happy that you have a job and what they pay you is more worth then you are. Dishonesty is very contagious and if you aren't liked by the right people no one believes you and you take the blame for the poor management and their poor human communications skills. Leadership is non existent and losing good honest employees that actually do look out and  want what's in the companies best interest is no problem for them they just hire someone else. 

I thoroughly enjoyed my role here as it bought out the best in my organisational skills & pushed me to excel deeper into to the quality sector which was a very interesting experience. Along with learning how quality can be managed to improve the outcome of a company, I learnt how to help the senior directors board with tough decisions concerning the workflow of the 8 members of the quality team, which made me feel like a valuable employee to the business & improved my confidence when dealing with the higher management than my immediate manager.

Pro's Being part of an affluent team who all share the joint goal of being your best when in the working environment.

Trying to learn basic spanish as the job was demanding where 50% of the workforce spoke spanish as their first language, it sometimes created a barrier to not be able to speak spanish.

Ferrovial services north america (which used to be Transfield, then Broadspectrum), has gone through a good amount of changes, but co. has done their best to communicate changes, re branding, etc.  pace is fast and competitive, expectations are clear, and you can tell they care about their employees.  benefits could be a little more competitive but they compensate you in other ways... free parking, lunchdrop for the corporate office, ergonomic support for your desk set up, they pay attention and try their best to address it in some form or fashion.  The open office environment takes a little getting used to but eventually you get your groove. collaboration, teamwork is a constant theme.  CEO is friendly, approachable, visible and communicates often.

The culture in this company is to help push you to be your best self with a great team to support. On-site in the waterworks division, I saw that to be true as well. I was able to further my knowledge in concrete, piping, earthwork and project management. Tasks were given to me that challenged me professionally, but all questions I may of had were able to be answered in great detail. 

The hardest part of the job is not asking questions to people who have great knowledge and experience to share and teach you new things. 

I truly enjoyed coming into work, being challenged and finding solutions to those minor problems. Coming to learn and pass on my knowledge to others and eventually explaining what I have learned to others and have better industry vocabulary.

Being a Spanish owned company the environment and culture is very different.

in all honesty, its the worst managed place i have ever worked for and the lack of proper management makes it very unsafe and a high tension environment. they sent me to a gynecologist office for a drug test and not an actual clinic. we constantly would work in front of our customer and they often asked why do we not have the proper and safe tools to complete our tasks. my second day there i could tell the lack of experience was incredibly low. i have never been more happy to seek other forms of employment in my life.
