The Role
Suprised at the amount of responsibility
Real experience of working in a team to develop software to meet customer deadlines, gives me more confidence now with what I want to do in my future
The Company
Understandably quiet most of the time; programming all day tends to go better without distraction
First month dedicated to training, with pretty up-to-date training material. Had my own computer as soon as I moved into the main office
Subsidised Canteen
Working from home
Many people here started on an internship. Good atmosphere - when things get hectic people don't lose their heads but calmly figure it out
The Culture
People of all ages here, but mostly in their 20's and willing to go out
Living in Horsham managed to get £250/month per person, and only lived with one other person
