The Role
The Company
Really great - everyone was lovely!
Flexi Time
Subsidised/Company Gym
Company Parties/Events
I have been offered a graduate role with the company starting September 2018 which takes a lot of pressure off in my final year
The Culture
A lot of us lived in the same accommodation which worked out really well as it meant we could socialise every night even if it was just watching a film in the common room and we could travel to and from work together which took away a lot of nerves
Edinburgh rent is quite expensive, particularly in August during the Fringe festival however if you try and scout out some of the cheaper places they are around - a number of bars also offered student discounts!
Plenty of clubs around Edinburgh and many bars opened until 5am when the Fringe was on
