Founded in 2016, Escient is a business and digital consultancy firm with a purpose to help shape the future for organisations, people and planet.
Culture is pretty good. People look out for one another. Hierarchy doesn't feel like it - as a grad you can be talking to Directors as much as you would be talking to other grads. There is a big social culture as well and we do events outside of work hours that we are happy to attend to.
We have a great culture. Even though there is a "technical" hierarchy, I can speak to Directors with no hesitation. As a matter of fact, my first week a Director helped me polish my CV - and I felt I could reach out at any time. Socialising is amazing as well, I think most of us get along and actually like the people we work with. We also hold space for us to share internally if we are having a challenging experience with an engagement, or even share personal dealings. We also celebrate us as people - when we have engagements, welcoming babies, dog play dates, etc. Cooperation can also be seen when we do things out of work such as the Spartan Challenge, as it is very supportive. I feel escient really lives their values and with the people it employs.
Everyone at Escient is so welcoming and inclusive - there is always someone to turn to for a chat, debrief, or a laugh. We all have each others' backs and really live by the values of courage, selflessness and creativity. After work hours socialising is somewhat limited depending on what office you're based in, but we occassionally have social days for fundraising or volunteering.
