    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • Relax working environment where we were encouraged not to sit around at the desk for long periods of time. I was surprised that such a large open plan office could be so quiet without many distractions. Not to mention there were always cakes and biscuits around to eat.
