Career forecasting sessions every 180 days help fast-track your goals.

Other benefits include: 

  • Structured bonus system on meeting targets
  • Competitive salary packages aligned to experience
  • Firm-wide WFH policy: 2 days from home
  • 26 weeks paid parental leave for all staff after 6 months' service
