Went to Wellington for a full day in the office with other interviewees. Included a team exercise, individual writing exercise, and individual interview. We were very well taken care of, and I was impressed by how friendly and open everyone was. It made me very excited to start.

I like that there are regular pay reviews so that you don't need to approach and ask for a raise. It is quite structured. Yearly forum where everyone in the company gets together for a weekend and socialises together. I haven't heard of other companies that do this, and think it's a great way to bond with the team.
