Pros

The work environment in the Christchurch office is fantastic, very friendly. The culture is inclusive and positive, and the company values its employees. I always felt respected and appreciated, and I enjoyed coming into work every day.

Cons

While the Christchurch office was excellent, I found that some of the oversight coming from the Auckland office felt a bit micromanaged at times. It would have been helpful to receive more structured mentorship or orientation when starting out on tasks, especially to better understand expectations and processes. A more collaborative and trust-based approach would have improved my experience.

Pros

Good support depending on team

Cons

Auckland Office: Strictly 8:30-5:30PM (minimum), no flexibility, including if you have children No overtime payment discussed. If extra hours are worked in the week, they do not add up to hours required to work in week, no time in lieu. Suppliers and supplier food offers are restricted. No personal music and earphones allowed in the office. Working from home is only on a Wednesday, and that is looked down on. No bananas are allowed to be eaten in the office. No food is allowed to be eaten at a desk. Lunch time is strictly 1-2PM sharp. If you do not follow the above, you are pulled aside for a meeting.
