What the staff say…
Good workplace culture
“I think it’s really important to have a good workplace culture and get on well with your colleagues, as so much time is spent working alongside them. The Culture Team provides a space where we can organise activities and entertainment to foster good relationships that exist outside of our working day between different departments. It’s really rewarding seeing colleagues build relationships at these events and knowing that it positively impacts teamwork within the company.“
Small but mighty, flexible, and encouraged to grow
“I have been working at IMRO since 2021, and genuinely enjoy the work, the culture and the people here. The ethos at IMRO is that we are small but mighty, flexible, and encouraged to grow. There is an open culture amongst the team, with social events and astroturf football games regularly scheduled. My own personal experience is of very supportive managers and opportunities to learn and progress professionally.”
