What Graduates Say About Them
  • There is so much support from every level of the business, including upper-level management. It may be a unique experience as a graduate, however I've found so many of the employees from different areas and at different levels of seniority make an effort to get to know new employees personally and show an invested interest in our development.
  • Positive work culture
  • Budget cuts
  • Hot-desking - we don't have set desks and move to a different desk every day/week. It means I have to fit as much as I can into my locker/drawers and take everything else home, as well as clear off and clean my desk every day. Then bring everything back the following day.
  • It felt like it took a bit of time to settle into the role and know exactly what you needed to do.
