Super great culture in terms of the NZ offices socially speaking and in cooperation. However, the culture of high workload and overtime isn't necessarily for everyone.

There is an excellent social culture

Too much pressure within projects for me. People are expected to do overtime too often. Projects should be better planned to add leeway for unexpected problems.

Coworkers are great, nothing but good things to say about them. Generally a highly intelligent and capable bunch, happy to support others when they can with various issues; good team. Not a lot of after hours activities (which is fine), company itself fairly regularly runs cultural events to get people together for a morning tea or something in office which is nice. Fairly well defined hierarchy, which has both pros and cons.
Graduate, Wellington
The graduate cohorts that start together are a strong group. You'll be surrounded by people who are going through the same process as you, learning at the same pace, so you'll have support from them. The office culture in Wellington is good, with various games and activities to do around the office when needing a quick break. There will frequently be people staying late, working overtime though.

Everyone is very cooperative. Social events every couple of weeks. Sports every week.
Graduate, Wellington
We have different festival events, and welcome events for the grads. Feel like it is a very good chance to say hello to everyone and know more people.
Graduate, Auckland
Culture in office is outstanding and exactly matches my expectations of professional office on year 2023. Everyone is very professional, friendly and inclusive. After hours drinks and food are common, and I have received a lot of invitations to such activities as a newcomer. Hierarchy is simple: my peers-line manager-head of solutions centre - CTO

One of the employees sounds terrifying. That's not ideal. Everyone else seems super cool.

Thursday team lunch, meet some new people and some other activities.
Graduate, Auckland
In office, the senior staff are helpful and willing to help new grads. After work, sometimes we have some team building activities and meetups, which enable us to get to know each other.

I think FNZ's company culture is okay. We had a lot of social activities in FNZ. During work as graduates I got a lot of help from my peers and seniors as well. Everyone's working together as a team to reach the goal.
Graduate, Wellington
One of the core FNZ values is to 'Commit, challenge, and win together' and everyone abides by that. You can go and talk to anyone at almost any time and they will be happy to have a chat.
Graduate, Wellington
It's pretty friendly in the office. People are willing to help you with your work. There is a pressure to work overtime but I would describe the pressure as 'optional'. Basically the overtime is there if you want to work it and from what I see most people are willing to do at least a little overtime. I think the overtime pay and incentives are pretty good so I'm willing to do quite a bit of it.
Graduate, Wellington
The social culture of the office is great. We've got an amazing culture club that organizes some great events, and everyone is super friendly. There's often drinks or a few games of ping pong after work on a friday. However in terms of the company the culture around work can be a bit toxic, with there being a lot of pressure to regularly work beyond your hours and do more than your role expects
