Culture of learning, caring and growth
A typical day is made up of drafting contracts, engaging with new employees and attending to queries amongst other things. The team is like a family, everyone wants to see the next grow in their career. There's no micromanagement and there's flexitime (meaning there's no set time to get to work and leave). Results are very important, the work is more about the quality you present and the quantity of hours spent in the office. I have learnt how to manage my time effectively, grew my interpersonal skills (which I already had, great ones too) and how you need to own your own career. The thing I enjoy the most is the culture. Even though it's very fast paced with immense pressure it also promotes learning, caring and results which are key for any individual. The most challenging aspect is people not respecting deadlines which causes a ripple effect.
Pros: Flexitime, discretionary bonus, increases, shares
Cons: No 13 cheque
