Very team dependent

Behind industry standard. Very heavily weighted down for outside London roles although our client base and charge out rates are the same and many in London never even go into office.

Experience & Company Culture
How is the support you receive?
2/5
HR are outsourced and slow to respond to queries. Line managers often direct you to general mailboxes for queries as rightly - they are focused on delivering work for clients.
How is your work-life balance?
5/5
Great - rarely work late
What is the organisational culture, values and general atmosphere like?
3/5
Probably a bit too much remote working for my liking. Many people never come into the office. Hybrid working policy too flexible.
