Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Balfour Beatty to a friend?
No
Why?
I believe the benefits are not too relevant to a younger audience. Also, working in such a large company has both benefits and disadvantages but the biggest disadvantage would be the stress that comes with the endless work pile.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Balfour Beatty?
It is a good place to work where you will feel welcome.
