One of the best parts of ap is the culture. we don't have the typical command-control structure that is present in other companies, and team members are empowered to make decisions and be accountable to these. there is a lot of support amongst team members, and everyone has time to help out. if i need support during the day, i feel comfortable to text, ring or email one of my managers. our team also has daily check-ins to just see how we are all doing and whether we need assistance for the day (serves a dual function, for both mental health and work purposes). we are also very flexible with working arrangements and are aware of each other's preferences. after hours there is no expectation to respond to communications, and it is encouraged that we log off and separate home and work life.
The company's culture is one of its strengths. your line major will generally make time to support you, and have at least weekly 1:1 meetings with you to track your progress with work and just to check-in on you. the graduates are a very supportive cohort, both in a work and social capacity. however, as it is a very hierarchical organisation there is a lot focus on upper managing as opposed to lower management.
Everyone is very friendly and genuine here. i've found in my experience, that even people who are very busy can find time to have a chat, whether in the office or when working from home. if there is something genuinely bothering you, chances are there will be more than one person you can confide in. despite there being a hierarchy, people are willing to overlook titles and give you a chance if you have the right attitude. there is not attitude of senior management being "better" than lower level employees.
