Management at Lendlease

Direct managers and line managers are very accessible. Great mentors. Senior management communicate business updates via email.

Managers are very accessible. they are happy to take the time to explain things with you and provide feedback if you ask

Overall I have had good managers who listen and helped me grow. They continue to mentor me and lead me in the right direction to mature well as an engineer. That said, I have had mangers that were not supportive and in some cases caused a hostile environment.

We have an open plan office space so the managers sit with the team. Everyone has their own expertise so the managers often ask others for advice, they just make the final decisions on things. It's actually really great to see people interacting of different levels all the time.

My managers are very busy but they always have time to answer my questions and explain things. I feel that I can talk to my manager if I have any problems at work and they will provide me with good advice. If I do something well, I get recognition. If something needs to be improved/changed, I get a good amount of feedback. My manager does make a good mentor.

Really good managers who are approachable.

Dependent on manager and that particular office / project culture.

At project level the interaction with my specific manager is fantastic

Managers are very accessible and make good mentors. There is regularly scheduled and informal feedback.

My line manager is fantastic however I do look at the upper management within the team and do not feel that I would aspire to be like them or want them to be my mentor.

My manager is fantastic but I know I have a unique relationship where I am my manager's only charge unlike a lot of other business units. He is a fantastic mentor - extremely knowledge and really understanding and supportive. We work side by side.

Always willing to help. Very friendly and everyone has introduced themselves.

The managers at my office are happy to help and provide useful feedback.

Hard to get someone to lead. Initially great, but heard from other graduates getting someone to sit and teach you above their ordinary duties can be difficult to impossible.

Direct line manager is always in contact, working with you constantly with great support. Upper management doesn't often come in contact as they work in different offices.

No mentoring

This is largely variable, and depends on the manager, your role and the performance / progression of the project team.

Both my direct line manager and the Operations manager for our department are based in the same building as me and both have an open door policy. They are both very approachable and easy to speak with. Both have offered feedback on my work and will offer praise when our team has been performing well.

In my experience, managers are very willing to mentor and give feedback, however they are hamstrung by the company processes in terms of how much help they can offer.

Upper management comes out to site monthly and site managers are always accessible in open-plan office. Formal mentoring is limited at present.
