    Culture

  • 5. What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
  • I only operated (and mainly interacted with) people from one area of Centrica but in that area everyone was welcoming and friendly. It felt like everyone wanted me to get the most out of the year as possible. The culture was also relaxed especially in terms of coming into the office, with their flexible working policy (Min 1 office day a month), however I often came in more than this, which shows the friendly and enjoyable atmosphere in the workplace.
