Pros

The organisation has traditionally been recognised for maintaining a positive and collaborative working culture, with good flexibility in working hours and arrangements. The introduction of the employee ownership model is a positive step, offering potential long-term financial benefits to employees. The hybrid working model (office and home-based) supports a healthy work–life balance.

Cons

The existing work culture appears to be evolving due to the recent influx of employees from diverse organisations, which may be impacting established ways of working. There is a perceived imbalance in focus, with greater emphasis placed on new hiring rather than sustaining engagement and satisfaction among existing employees. While external positioning of the team is strong, there appears to be a gap between external perception and internal employee experience.

It is really valuable to read such an honest and balanced view of your experience, especially where you’ve highlighted both the strengths and the areas that feel less joined up. We are glad to hear that collaboration, flexible working and the employee ownership model have been positive parts of your time with us. You have also raised some important points about how the culture is changing and how this is experienced day to day. As we continue to grow, making sure we support and retain existing colleagues while welcoming new talent is a key priority. Your feedback on communication, transparency and employee engagement is especially important. Strengthening two way dialogue and ensuring people feel heard and informed is an area we continue to focus on.

Early career experiences can really shape how people view the industry, so it is great to see you found the projects interesting during your internship. We also appreciate your honest feedback about quieter periods. Finding the right balance between giving interns meaningful work and managing project demands can be a challenge at times, and it is something we continue to work on to make sure placements feel engaging and valuable throughout. Thank you for sharing your experience and for the contribution you made during your internship in Boston.
