    3/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Not that expensive because the office itself is near Crawley. If you lived in London then clearly the cost of living would be far more.

  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • There was a cricket team which had a couple of games and also a few gym classes before and after work. I'm not sure what else.
