Pros

You are allowed to breath whilst at work.

Cons

Terrible management, bullying is rife and supported by HR - who need replacing. Worst managers in the world - good staff simply leave. Turn over of staff very high due to bullying managers, poor work environment, casual racism, staff being isolated, projects are all over the place due to no real communication or project planning.....company is pretty awful and staff welfare non existent. Unethical approach to business.

We have an excellent record as a good employer to our 16,000 staff, amply and objectively demonstrated by our various employers’ awards and accreditations. We know of one or two former staff who pursue their personal issues with us through anonymous and unfounded statements like this - which we choose not to debate in an open forum.

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.
