    The Company

    The Culture

    • 4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Accommodation prices are fairly high, however cost of living and socialising is fairly cheap. It all depends on where you go.

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • There's something for everyone - the city has a lot to offer.

    5/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Unfortunately there are not many activities outside of work. If you are based in the UK, there is a lot more on offer and it's a shame that this is not the case at every Verizon office.
