The support is excellent - there are many people that I can turn to who will offer me advice or help me. I like the structured appraisal and early career sessions too.
How is your work-life balance?
4/5
I work quite long hours (8:30-6pm), but do get to go home after that and switch off which, compared to many, is great! I also get a study day on a Friday which I really appreciate.

at it's heart, the culture and values are very good. The atmosphere is currently quite tense, as there are some changes going on in the firm.

There are ERGs which are helpful, but I think that this is something that they are working on.
