[QUOTE="Nicktim, post: 71758, member: 6132"] I can't really speak to the reason the ROF scores are as they are but I did an in-person VS at FF in 2019 so just thought I'd chip in with my personal perspective. I had similar reservations about the culture before joining because of some of the things I'd read online but was quite surprised just how normal people were. There were some people who clearly didn't have time to speak to vac schemers but I just avoided those people and didn't encounter anybody particularly rude or notice anything that would suggest a toxic culture. Obviously I had a very small sample size and I was placed into a very friendly team who weren't as busy as others, but none of the other vac schemers experienced any overt toxicity even in the busiest teams. I think it would appear there are a few bad eggs at the firm (probably the case in most big firms), but the horror stories seem to be the exception rather than the norm and the leadership team at the firm seem to be genuinely trying to make cultural changes. As Jess has said above though, sometimes on a vac scheme it can be hard to get a true impression because you are encouraged to leave no later than 5:30pm and a great deal of investment and planning goes into giving you a good impression of the firm which is very different to the experience you'll have as a trainee when the free food and drink stops and the hours change!
