Pros and cons of working at Tonkin + Taylor

Pros

  • Everyone is very friendly and supportive. Great team and team leader. Very interesting and varied work.

  • There is no competition within the company, everyone tries to lift each other and provide help whenever possible.

  • Culture of the workplace, and the opportunity to work on a range of projects with many different people.

  • The support from my colleagues. The opportunity to get involved in interesting projects. The work-life balance.

  • The flexibility of working times and locations, and the people. I enjoy the freedom of choosing when I can work from home and the hours I do. It helps me balance my personal life and work schedule.

Cons

    • Lack of intermediate staff who you can go ask for help without worrying about how busy they are.

    • Everyone is very busy, it can be difficult to find time for non-project related work such as training, career development, discussions etc.

    • The variable workload

    • High stress when projects are due

    • Sometimes, project commitments conflicts and all of a sudden there is a big workload. I also get stressed when some projects have a tight deadline and budget and I have to really push myself to try to deliver within budget.
