Pros

You can leave soon just before they close the doors....on LR Drilling

Cons

Corporate bullying at the highest level, hidden within the leadership team 'we want the right team' (a team that will not question us) to take us through the crisis that the leadership team created and will no doubt finish when they sell LR Drilling.

Pros

Nothing, only nice office and colleagues at non-managerial position.

Cons

Too many politics in the company, no clear directions in energy business. They acquire Moduspec and West Engineering but then change the name to LRED. Hey, we bought company because that company has already had a recognized brand. What the hell you changed it to LRED, nobody know who is LRED. Now I heard they closed down all drilling and Risk Management team globally. No clear direction from the leaders, only profit oriented thinking. This is what happen if the CEO is from finance background. Only small salary increment (less than 2%) for the past 4 years I was with the company. They will just make you redundant if the business is not good, but they will not reduce they pay.

Hi there. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are glad to see you enjoyed working with your colleagues during your time at Lloyd's Register. Our business decisions are based on a long term strategy but we do also need to respond flexibly to changes in the external markets. I can see you have now left the company but hope you were able to discuss your concerns with your line manager or your Area HR lead. If you would like to contact us to discuss further, please feel free to reach out to me. My email is claire.desouza@lr.org. Best wishes, Claire@LR

Pros

Diverse multi-cultural office with people from all over the world. The technical staff and engineers are friendly and nice to work with. Team leaders are for the most part competent, approachable and supportive. Flexible (more-or-less) work hours. Nice physical office environment with good facilities. Relaxed environment for a researcher or fresh graduate. Compensation and benefits are competitive with industry.

Cons

At the local GTC management level (above team leader), poor leadership and authoritarian style. Managers are selfish and power hungry. Completely disconnected from staff. More interested in their own job protection, self interests, and impressing/pulling the wool over the eyes of the upper management. Little information sharing from the management down. Office politics include manipulation, lying, taking credit for work they didn't do, bullying, and backstabbing. Blame culture. Not much career/personal development of staff. Not a place to stay if you want to grow unless you are a fresh graduate. Training is often promised, but rarely delivered. Focus on time booking and utilisation, control and monitoring, rather than productivity/deliverables and collaboration. Project processes are very unwieldy and very bureaucratic. Constructive criticism of these processes is ignored.
