Pros

Richter is a great place to work. Everyone in the office is so friendly and down to earth so getting to know people on other teams is relatively easy. The partners are all really approachable and provide many learning and mentoring opportunities to their team members, as well. As a whole, it's evident that everyone cares about the work they do, why they do it, and how they can provide the best service to their clients.

Cons

The office can get noisy, being largely open concept, but that's what headphones are for.

Thank you for your feedback. Through an array of social and charity activities, we encourage our team members to get to know one another which creates a friendly and familial environment. Richter continues its commitment to the learning and development of their team by offering formal and informal education, training and mentorship opportunities and support. We are pleased to say that our people apply the highest standard of excellence to exceed client’s expectations. We are supportive of open concept offices, as they encourage comradery between the teams and opportunities to discuss work matters easily. We understand the setup may increase noise levels which can be challenging at times and we encourage you to book an available office, when required for certain work deliverables, and are supportive of your headphones approach. Any other ideas would be welcome as well.

Pros

Richter’s entrepreneurial spirit and family-friendly environment is over 90 years in the making – this, in itself, is what makes the firm so special. As a former employee of the firm, I’m proud to have been given the opportunity to collaborate with so many talented professionals in a reputable organization. Amidst all the challenges, there is an abundance of learning opportunities and rewards so I would definitely recommend Richter as a place to work.

Cons

Several business partners who manage different realities are not necessarily always on the same page with respect to the Firm's vision. This brings about certain challenges.

Pros

Get to work with some amazing people. They work hard but have fun. Salary is good and they have paid out some decent bonuses. Allow staff to have input, you feel like you are making a difference. Flexible work environment.

Cons

Some processes are not as mature compared to Big 4. Benefits are just OK.

Thank you for taking time to provide a review. Yes, we are particularly proud of all our people – they are amazing! We have fun, thanks to our many social and charity events, we want to make the environment enjoyable for all and we have multiple opportunities to give back to the community. As announced in the Town Hall, in 2017, we have a very focussed and hard-working Projects and Operations team currently reviewing and improving processes in all divisions. Some processes have been identified to be evolved in 2017 and we are looking forward to the outcome of this project. Our HR Team is taking a closer look at the benefits program and ensuring it is competitive. We are taking measures to further clarify the firm’s strategy, as discussed at our Town Hall this year, through a course of meetings and communication strategies. We continue to be committed to listening to our people – through an open door policy to our managers, partners and HR, the engagement survey we ran last year and subsequent survey champion meetings, the Women in Leadership Committees, and other informal avenues.
