The Role
The Company
Great atmosphere, everyone was extremely helpful and I never felt I could not approach anyone.
Many skills and workshops, as well as great introductory training
Sports and Social Club
Subsidised/Company Gym
Financial Bonus
Company Parties/Events
Above 25 days holiday
Working from home
I would definitely look into doing a PhD with the company, and perhaps a job later on
The Culture
I did not have much time to socialise as I have a busy personal life but there were plenty of students around and the atmosphere was generally welcoming
I live alone so things were a little more expensive, but I don't go out or drink and local amenities were perfect so a good balance
I don't really go out but as an office we did go out a few times and local restaurants were lovely
I have a busy personal life so I do not get a lot of opportunity but I was aware of many.
