RCP Reviews

Good - from what I have seen, many have worked their way up and Performance & Development Reviews are a good way that help and encourage this through goal setting and self-reflection.

RCP participates in social improvement activates like community service, volunteering and supporting local initiatives. For instance some of these initiatives included involvement in 0800 Hungry, The PJ Project, STOP, Octacan, and many more other initiatives.

I love the culture in my office. I feel that it is an appropriate level of laid back where everyone still works hard but has fun and can speak comfortably in free time. The out-of-hours social events are always fun and varied. Although I'm not entirely there yet, I am starting to feel more so part of the whanau and a solid, permanent member of the team. I like that the seniors and directors sit among us and aren't separate. We all socialise and I don't often feel much pressing sense of hierarchy. I also feel comfortable calling upon a good range of people with help or cooperation, and I do feel like we are all a team.

RCP's commitment to diversity is immense, celebrating diversity events such as International Women's Day, Pink Shirt Day, and many other events prioritizing different communities and minorities. RCP implements maternity leave and childcare policies, with a significant amount of anti-bullying and diversity programs.

Amazing - I am fortunate to have an amazing mentor who makes work fun and pushes me to learn more and challenge myself.

The company office space in Auckland is modern, with a dedicated "lunch area" with two large tables to ensure that everyone is able to gather and socialise during breaks, or just watch sports on the large TV screens. A cafe is located downstairs with the ability to quickly head down and grab something from the cabinet or a quick coffee. A mini-fridge with soft drinks is provided for employees as well, as well as alcoholic beverages for Friday drinks. The dress code is kept as formal work attire, ensuring you look presentable. The emphasis is placed on ensuring that you look presentable, which leads to more people opting for pants and a button up shirt, with casual Friday's drawing a couple more sweaters and sneakers from people.

I had my first interview in which I was asked question about myself and the interviewers explained what my role would be / day to day tasks. I was called in for a second interview which was held with a different interviewer. This was generally the same questions. They made these interviews more comfortable by making it feel more as a conversation.

For coming straight out of polytechnic I find I am satisfied with my pay. The company has many subsidies and perks which are great e.g. fitness subsidy, taxi/uber for work functions.

RCP has a substantial amount of training and development programs, putting on online training events one-two times a week, along with an enormous library of learning and training videos, there videos consists of project management specific, specialist, cultural, technology, environmental, and a vast range of other key skills. Mentoring is immensely encouraged within RCP, along with yearly performance and development reviews ensuring continuous improvement of each employee.

As a current student, I have flexibility around my hours as long as these are communicated with my direct supervisor beforehand. Whether this be through taking a break during the semester breaks or reduced hours during busy assignments and exam periods, the flexibility is ensured as long as there is communication.

RCP is commitment to sustainability is considerable and growing, with its allocated environmental committee consistently updating the organization with any important news and initiatives to implement.
