The Role
It was absolutely fantastic! I ended up getting such a broad knowledge base of several different departments, working with some great passionate people in a job where every day was different and exciting.
The Company
Professional but with good inter department banter.
Flexi Time
Subsidised Canteen
Company Car
National Travel
Financial Bonus
Company Parties/Events
The Culture
After work drinks and drinks when meeting agencies.
Surrey and London are expensive, but you can still have a good time.
Surrey is not exactly known for it's nightlife...although Central London is only a 30 minute train journey away...
Gym/Walking/Jogging as well as motorsport events and outdoor concerts.
