Each team has its own budget for nights out and activities which the team itself get to decide what they do with it. This is in addition to the other regular whole company activities such as the fancy dress Christmas party or the End of Year party which is usually a boat party on the Thames to celebrate the end of the financial year. They also have a May Ball, a black tie event where partners are invited as well, which is held for no other reason than to break up the year!
The managers are actively involved in the recruitment process giving them interaction with potential new employees from the very start before they officially join the team.
