Culture at the company is typically good with people being respectful and helpful when required. Company structure can be a bit of a mess with there having been repeated changes in the top level hierarchy in recent years however it appear to have settled down. Within my role in the graduate program many times it a bit lost as to who my managers actually were in terms of day-to-day work vs overall scheme of the company as I would rotate around the business.
Everyone in the office is extremely friendly and welcoming, no matter where they sit in the organizational hierarchy. There are also a lot of social events that provide the opportunity to get to know your colleagues on a more personal level. This is beneficial when starting projects with different teams, because you have already built up a level of trust and respect.
Monthly work drinks promotes socialisation on a Thursday night. We have a standard hierarchy, and within my team we all have different roles and ask for support where those functions overlap. There are a lot of contractors which may influence the company's culture.
The company has a strong teamwork culture where teams work together to achieve its goal of ecological transformation. There is a strong sense of professionalism and friendliness in the workplace. Networking with co-workers outside of my team is strongly encouraged to broaden people who I can reach out to, who can help me achieve my tasks as well as contribute to ecological transformation. What the company lacks in my opinion is socialising amongst colleagues outside of work hours as currently I feel that there is none outside of corporate events
