Culture at GHD

Great culture within my team, and great culture within early career professionals

Poor workload allocation, plenty of people, especially seniors are overworked while others are bored. Very good company culture outside of office hours.

My department feels Horizontal structure where it is not unusual to ask many questions to my team leaders and get design ideas. I organise social events for my team and they all seem enthusiastic when we are out of office. This is my favourite team of people I have worked with thus far.

I have felt genuinely supported and cared about by all colleagues; I have been made to feel comfortable approaching my manager and BGL, asking questions of coworkers, and just chatting over lunch. I find socialising and approaching colleagues difficult as it is so I really appreciate this culture. The office is pleasant to be in - people often go for lunch or coffee together which is a nice opportunity to interact with my team or the wider Perth office, and I have enjoyed the end of month drinks which is a really nice way to meet people from different teams. The GHD cocktail gala was also a highlight, it was fun and nice to get to talk to people in a very not-office context. It's also great that there are a lot of other young professionals both in my team and the wider office, and I have made genuine friends in the office.

I think the team are approachable, understanding.

Inclusivity and acceptance are extremely important at GHD and my team is always welcoming and supportive to those who need it.

All pro, great company culture. Really supportive, have extended maternal leave ect. Hybridized working from home

The culture within the office is great and everyone I've spoken to within and beyond my team are friendly and helpful. GHD's culture in terms of the hierarchy feels quite egalitarian in that people in leadership / higher positions also feel approachable/relatable and treat everyone with respect regardless of experience level.

Generally cordial and welcoming environment. With some good opportunities for social activities outside of work hours

Great support for all workers across the company. Our team is very social and I enjoy coming into the office on anchor days and being able to collaborate with everyone. We also catch up often after work for social events.

There is a friendly work culture, and generally socialisation occurs between the younger colleagues. After hour socials do not happen often.

Overall, GHD has a good culture in the office and after hours. We have drinks after work a couple times a month so you can get to know your colleagues well. The structure and hierarchy is clear and works well most of the time. There is good cooperation and teamwork within teams and also between different teams.

The culture is great and I feel very satisfied, however there is a culture to work longer days or work from home.

I work mostly remotely, and the team that I work with never let me feel like I am alone. The Sydney team are very supportive of my work life, as well as my home life. They reach out to me often and we are steadily becoming great mates.

My team's culture is very strong. Everyone is very encouraging and always happy to help out. We get along really well and have some good banter.

great team culture at work and outside. lots of people around similar age/level within team

Great after hours work culture. Some people in the team work extremely long hours (12+ hours per day) which can create pressure in the team, many people also work on weekends too

Hours in the office are generally standard and flexible. Good balance of working from home and office. Field hours generally not the same. In my team projects are budgeted with limited field hours when it seems clear the work will take longer, this forces less experienced or less senior team members to work unpaid hours in the field. I would understand if this was occurring every now and then, but most fieldwork I have been put on has gone over 8 hours a day with only 8 hours in the budget.

The culture within the team is close with all employees feeling relatively comfortable calling and taking to each other during office hours. Outside of the office, there are frequent external events for bonding. It can sometimes be hard with the hierachy structure to talk to colleagues more senior as they tend to be busier.

Team is full of cool people, but with some dissonance or disconnect between new and old employees, sometimes leading to conflict. This can be heightened by fieldwork settings. But the team is working towards a conscious solution and overcoming this. On the whole, full of really nice people who are passionate and driven.
