What Graduates Say About Them
  • People I work with, the scope of projects (quite big so lots of exposure), monthly flex hours, additional leave purchase, profit share twice a year
  • Interesting projects
  • The fantastic culture, especially within my team. The clear commitment to sustainability and actually doing what they say they will do. The staff wellbeing initiatives such as lunch and learns, salad bar, office events and more. Profit share is a great motivator and bonus.
  • My colleagues and seniors I work with are friendly and approachable. The company also appears to care about their employees and makes an effort to foster an inclusive and respectful culture. It is also easy to work from offices in other cities.
  • Timesheets and internal staff
  • There can be long work hours leading up to project deadlines
  • Intense deadlines that can be stressful
  • The work can be inconsistent (which can be a plus and minus at the same time), meaning it is often a rollercoaster of very busy times or lull periods. And due to being a large global company, there is many internal things to learn about, which after 2 years, I am still learning about.
