In their own words
Hear from our team about the Peritas culture.
The culture is down to earth and everyone is friendly. There's a big emphasis on fostering a good culture, with lots of diverse events that are fun and engaging.
Peritas has built a work environment that fosters innovation and success. It invests in its people and guides them through growth and opportunity.
Balance days help move the needle closer to true work-life balance. They allow me to do things I enjoy like going away with family for a long weekend, outdoor activities on the random day that has perfect weather or a slow, easy day. They are also great for life admin, freeing up weekends for rest and recreation.
People and Culture FAQs
Does Peritas offer flexible working?
Yes. Start and finish times can be adjusted with your leader’s approval to fit around personal commitments. Our Balance Days also give our people the opportunity to earn an extra day off each month, up to 12 days a year.
Can I work from home or work hybrid?
Peritas runs a hybrid model. Once you’ve passed probation, you can work from home one day a week, usually midweek, and spend the rest of the week in the office with your team. Arrangements can vary depending on your role and project needs.
