    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • RCI have just moved offices to Rickmansworth, this has made a huge difference to the company and made the office far more enjoyable and cohesive. We have a games room downstairs with a projector where you can play Fifa on your lunch breaks or watch TV. There is a big communal eating space where you can have meetings/relax on your breaks, there is also a fantastic library which is great for quiet breaks away from your desk.
