Working Hours at Gilbert + Tobin

Company is flexible and supportive, but as a graduate you may do some long hours. I believe it expected in a corporate environment, so no surprises.

I believe that the firm offers good opportunities to try advanced work as a junior. However, the consequence of this is that I have often had to work late because I have more work to finish and greater responsibility within the team.

The firm is quite flexible and allows its employees to largely complete their work around other interests and hobbies, unless a particular task is urgent. The firm also provides great support in flexibility of hours to employees undergoing medical issues.

While we are busy, the firm's policy is generally, as long as you get the work done, you can work come and go as necessary.

9am-6pm is average, but there is flexibility to leave earlier if the workload allows it.

The work hours change but you can generally predict when there is going to be a busy time. When we are quiet we are encouraged to enjoy that time.

I have not worked passed my contractual hours on many occasions, and there is much flexibility around working from home or going home before dinner and logging back on to finish work if needed. We have not been asked to work late and encouraged to go home as early as possible, particularly if we are finished with our tasks for the day.

It is challenging to work from home as a I am still so junior I do not feel like I can learn the best at home. Generally, the team does have the option to work from home if notice is given in advance.

My team is very flexible with working hours. You can take on as much responsibility as you see fit. I, personally, enjoy taking on a lot of work and responsibility for my own development.

Flexible on day to day (e.g. you make what you want of it, can start/finish when you see fit) - long hours of work overall

G+T are flexible with hours and with when and where you get work done, I would prefer if we finished at 5 rather than 6

Very flexible

When a deal is closing the hours tend to be very long. But, outside of those situations, hours tend to be fairly normal and not too onerous.
