To what extent does your role give you the opportunity to contribute meaningfully and feel valued by your team?
5/5
No work assigned to me was work that senior members of the team haven't done or wouldn't do, your work often feeds into many other work streams to create a bigger picture, frequently that bigger picture is shared with you so you understand how you are contributing to the overall project / company. Work you do is always credited with to you.
How does your compensation package - including perks & benefits - fairly remunerate you for the work you do?

Experience & Company Culture
How is the support you receive?
5/5
I have yet to find a member of any team that is unwilling to support you, within reason you are able to reach out to any level of seniority for support without having to worry about it.
How is your work-life balance?
4/5
Unfortunately like every company there are teams which struggle for time and are very stretched. There is no pressure from direct managers to work more than your hours and frequently remind you of that. However sometimes you can feel personal pressure that you need to do more to stand out.
What is the organisational culture, values and general atmosphere like?
5/5
All my mangers have been very flexible and understanding with the contracted option to work from home 2 days of the week. Many managers are okay with you starting late or early or taking longer lunches (within reason) aslong as by the end of the week you have done your contracted hours.
The company strives for the best culture, with support groups for everything and anything. I couldn't have felt more welcome in every department, being invited to all after work events and being a genuine part of the working machine
