    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • I think that the firms culture is very unique. The one thing that quickly struck me is that there is a really collaborative element within and across departments. People are constantly bouncing ideas off of each other and helping one another in their work, and I think this reflects the way the firm values team work and also that staff really respect each other. In a similar respect, I feel that the people at RPC are very down to earth and that there isn’t a hierarchical atmosphere – the open plan offices really do make everybody a lot more approachable and I was asked on more than one occasion to attend meetings by partners and associates which I really appreciated.
