Culture at CRS
We have a collegiate and supportive culture with a strong sense of common goals and purpose. We are hard-working and passionate about what we do, and take pride in our work always ensuring we deliver at a high standard. I have found it very rewarding to be part of a Firm that values the importance of nurturing talent through development programmes. The Firm also believes in giving back to the community and the environment through various responsible business and social impact initiatives, and encourages having fun and connecting with each other at our sports and social events. It is unusual to walk past anyone without a friendly acknowledgement and hello.
