Lloyds Register

Lloyd's Register is historically an old British company that began by inspecting and certifying ocean vessels.  It has expanded into inspecting and certifying both offshore and onshore oil and gas facilites as well as refineries and chemical plants.  With the acquisition of Celerity3 around 2009 the company added an engineering group that specialized in pressure relief system revalidation.  They went through some growing pains where design work was banned for liability concerns until a corporate restructuring was completed.  During that hiatus from design, many if not most of C3's clients moved their relief system accounts to competitors that would do design work.  To their credit Lloyd's did much to limit the number of layoffs that took place but to this day they are still unsure what to do with these engineers who have been trained in the specialized field of relief system design but are being used for corrosion mapping and other miscellaneous jobs assisting other departments.  There is some job security and the benefits are good but the work is not terribly challenging for most engineers.

There was always a fair amount of samples, enough to keep you busy but not enough to become overwhelmed. The lab staff are excellent and make time pass much faster; they may have their off days but are great 99% of the time. You also get a decent amount of breaks and time for lunch; I never really had an issue in that regard.

In my personal experience, lab management was very fair and kind and always did their best to help. The supervisors were excellent; I never had any unpleasant run ins with any of them, and I felt as though they always looked out for me. The lab manager was also great and helped me when needed. The amazing cleaner was the best and couldn’t have done the job better, keeping the labs clean from oil and dirt.

Most problems with the work usually stem from negligence by the lab techs as the work isn’t particularly hard. However, it can sometimes be challenging. Most people would handle it with no issues and the vast majority of the time the lab techs did a good job.

My only criticism is not being allowed to leave once all the work is finished during the late shift. 

Overall, I would highly recommend, as there is a lot to enjoy and very little to dislike, kinda like the matrix movies.

working offshore on drilling rigs, either surveying or training.
12 hour day usually waiting for something to happen or waiting on somebody else. Training depended upon the availability of candidates and a safe working environment as sometimes training was performed out in the field.
Surveying often consists of witnessing various tests being performed on drilling, marine or power management equipment and inspecting paperwork/certificates.
Once onboard the ship you were very much on your own with no management to call upon except the shipstaff who not always had your interests as a priority.
Hardest part of the job was trying to get other people to do their job so you could do yours.
Most enjoyable was seeing a plan developed to test a particular piece of machinery/process and to see the test performed succesfully

Friendly workplace with a work hard, play hard culture.
Strong benefits although pay could be higher for the amount of work involved.
Recent IT and system changes within the company have not had the  impact that was hoped for.  Slow,complex and non user-friendly. These changes have affected employees globally along with clients.

I learned about the assessment materials at the beginning of the internship. The manager was not prepared to have an intern so my work was mainly assisting the GM. I briefed documents, fix English materials that was written by a local employee to make it easier to understand, and attended training sessions and meetings.

GM allowed me to take time off and work from home.

The LRQA I'm most familiar with is the division in the USA.  LRQA is losing money very quickly as a result of clients leaving the company for poor service. This is occurring at the same time as they are raising prices as a result of financial mismanagement and rising costs.  

Your job performance and job security come second to political motivations.  So don't be surprised if you see second rate performers hanging around while top talent is fired to help contain costs.

What is the best part of working at the company?
It was sold to Goldman Sachs so if you like being for sale all the time... it was way toomuch uncertainty.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Too much un certainty. IT support. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
I worked remote so I had no culture

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Thats a topic I cannot describe as it wasnt consistent

A typical day very challenging because it required many long hours and  travel 6 days a week. Employees were overworked and under respected. I did not see my co-workers  except at meetings, etc.
The hardest part of the job was dealing with Indian managers that did not care if you understood them when they were speaking and always thought they were better than you and their condescending attitude.

Relatively easy-going atmosphere to work in. But, advancement opportunities for driven and noticeably capable employees almost non-existent which is discouraging. The trade-off for being driven and highly capable is receiving more responsibilities without commensurate compensation. The Healthcare and people are nice though. 

Generally it was a good place to work. They are managed out of London which tended to stifle collaboration and process improvement. Most decisions whether major or minor are required to go through the London office for approval which makes the process slow and cumbersome. Strategy is not about innovation and customer focused approach but rather financial results. Cutting jobs and removing services is their strategy at the moment.
