Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Hilton's company culture and atmosphere is incredible and we were recently ranked as the World's Best Workplace. We have an onsite gym for team members to use, regular fitness classes as well as a Thrive room for mental health and wellbeing.
There were lots of events and great opportunities to socialise with other team members which allowed me to interact with other departments.
