The Role
They held me completely at arms length and some days didn't even speak to me. It was so disheartening when others talked about how well their team got on.
Most of what they gave me involved preparing Excel documents which they needed for other projects. I wasn't shown how to use any of the systems. Essentially I did anything that was about to be outsourced to India anyway.
The Company
It was lovely at first, but over time there was too much moaning about weight and boyfriends.
There were a lot of talks and events to attend which were really interesting.
Subsidised Canteen
Company Parties/Events
Healthcare from home
With any other team, maybe.
