Culture at Beca New Zealand

Beca's culture is marked by a structured hierarchy in the office, spanning from team leaders to section managers and business line operational managers. We balance this with a vibrant social scene, which includes regular Friday drinks, participation in social sports such as badminton and volleyball, and kicking off our Fridays with a floor wide morning tea session. This fusion of professional collaboration and social interaction contributes to a supportive and enjoyable work environment.

Beca is still relatively siloed, there are a lot of people at Beca but most of your time is spent with people you know/work with. The grad program allows you to occasionally interact with different departments/specialisations but these events are few and far between. So your experience of the work culture is heavily influenced by the culture in your team, this can be a pro or a con.

Lovely people that are onto it and good at their jobs, people take time to teach and improve the business, high expectations of people can lead to pressure but not in an unsustainable way. very professional work environment with a corporate feel that could be relaxed a bit to promote a better work life balance

The culture at Beca is amazing. The team always tries to get together and do something after work when possible.

it is good,

It's just outstanding I don't really have to comment further, refer to the 'Positives' answer I gave in the previous page.

Many lunchtime/after work social sports to connect with people from all disciplines. Socializing events are organized every so often. Office is open plan and I do not feel a big step between manager/boss and workers.

During work hours, our section culture is great. Super friendly vibe and people are always up for a yarn. Outside of work, mates stick to mates within the section but, there is good connectivity outside of the office and event participation is good.

People are quite positive, in the office everyone seems very approachable and willing to talk and help me learn. Out of the office the younger engineers have set up a cool social club that organizes events that are good fun.

Senior team members actively engage with everyone, cooperative and learning environment, frequent social events team-wide and particularly among graduates we have frequent events on top of that e.g. social weekends away, dinners, we become real friends with our graduate colleagues.

Great work culture except I feel that flexi-working is sometimes frowned upon by some of the seniors. Lots of after work drinks/social events.

In the office: everyone is generally friendly. Professional growth is well encouraged here as well as personal wellbeing. On a team by team basis there is generally a good level of banter amongst workmates. In my team, diversity really stands out Outside the office: many people do social sports and activities together. Many people tend to have some form of involvement with each other

The company provides an opportunity to build good culture throughout the graduate cohort by providing the chance for the group to gather together. There is more opportunity to develop team culture within our team and get to know the individuals within the team. I think that there is a natural hierarchical nature within companies but I feel at times that the opinion of graduates is not valued to the extent that it should be.

Good teamwork. Can be driven by filling in a timesheet. Lots of social activities

Very good culture both during and after work, a very strong social club and everyone in the office is super friendly

The company is multiverse and they are very accepting in everyone's culture. Everyone is approachable despite their position in the hierarchy.

The culture within the office is positive amongst most of the team most of the time, this makes it enjoyable to come to the office each day. As a team we do not socialise outside of work but do enjoy a good team outing. The grad cohort for my section is strong and we really look out for each other.

Socialising has been impacted since C19 as less people are in the office. There is office social activities organized by grads and people acorss the team. Heirachy feels flat and most seniors are keen to develop the careers of young people. I get along very well with my peers

Culture is generally good good people relaxed and happy

Heavy drinking and party culture after office hours. I was told that you will struggle if you do not buy into that culture, which makes it difficult since I do neither. Very progressive culture where they are inclusive of gender ideology and indigenous agendas. I am indigenous, but it comes off as a little tokenism, especially how I am used. If you buy into the culture you will have a great time, but independent thinking is often discouraged and causes you to be out casted. In office most people keep to themselves and work hard. Very friendly though, not a talkative bunch.
