Culture at Tonkin + Taylor

A big reason I love working at Tonkin + Taylor is the culture and my colleagues. Many different events that help connect different people and everyone is kind. I would love to see more Pacific and Maori people in the office.

Great group of people, flexible work hours and many occasions where people of all levels get together for morning tea, rooftop drinks etc.

Everyone is very kind and sociable. If I need help, they would set some time out to teach and develop me in my work. We have a structure of graduates, which is me as a new entry, then the intermediates, which have been here 3 years or more. Longer than that, you get project managers, usually 5 years and up and then project directors, technical directors, discipline managers, discipline directors, etc., I usually work with a few people from the office, usually the project managers for the projects that I am involved in and other colleagues. The project manager gives the work brief and make sure all the logistic side of things are sorted i.e, proposals, contracts etc., My team leader, keeps track of my development and have development chat sessions with me throughout the year to coach me on my development goals in my career. I usually socialise with my colleagues during lunch time. The graduates tries to arrange a social thing once a month. There are friday staff drinks once a month. Social club have lots of fun activities planned throughout the year.

Good range of age and gender

Very diverse and with great respect to all cultures.

I work very closely with a couple other junior/graduates and seniors in a small team. We work together and have many discussions to solve problems. We have lunch together every day and organise small events each month outside of work hours to socialise.

Everyone is very friendly. Work comes from a range of departments and is varied.

In office culture is good but a lot of people work from home a lot, would be nicer if more people came in. Not a huge outside of office culture, but we do have good Social Club events which get good turnouts. Good culture across the hierarchy, senior staff are approachable.

T+T has a very flat hierarchy where everyone is approachable. The culture in the office is excellent, and the work life balance is great. The free food is also great, but I wish there was more of it.

The company has a social club and offer many opportunities to join interesting activities. There is also a team who look to make the company more environmentally friendly.

Flat structure meaning everyone's approachable, form the teammates through to the project directors. The motto is work hard play hard at T+T, they value your work/life balance.

Great social club, good collaboration and socialization between disciplines.

We have a social club, lots of morning teas, colleagues become friends, good work atmosphere

Very positive and easy-going culture in and out of the office. The company is a 100% employee-owned so can feel that everyone wants the best for the company while caring for others

Flat structure, highly approachable staff at all levels, mutual respect between all staff

Everyone is lovely. Very good culture. A consciousness that the employees' matter, but also the social/environmental role of the company in wider society. Social club is very active. Hierarchy is reasonably flat for an organization of its size. Teamwork and collaboration are very easy and encouraged.

Very flat hierarchy, great working environment. Good teamwork. Looking out for each other. Social Clubs organizes events on a regular basis. Lots of morning teas to socialize during working hours. Found very good friends that I also spent time after work and on the weekends.
