    Culture

  • 5. What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
  • A very friendly and welcoming company. It was clear from the beginning that colleagues enjoy what they do and care about the company.

Through the intern project and client work I had the chance to work with colleagues in offices around the UK, feeling like one big team
