Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

For most of my year there's a really positive and supportive atmosphere across the office, however when negative news came towards the end of my internship, this shifted hugely and the entire office was less sociable and more downbeat.
Whilst the office was in general fairly diverse too, my leadership team was almost fully composed of white men, which felt that the diversity of higher management was lacking.

How would you rate the inclusiveness of the culture?
