    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?
  • There was a really good work atmosphere. Firstly, working the The HUB has many benefits. A great, central London location which makes the journey to work very inspiring as you see the sights of London. Secondly, The HUB itself is a space full of social enterprises so there is an awesome atmosphere of people doing something for the cause. The space itself is littered with bean bags and random work spaces, with tea and coffee complimentary. Working with the Bridge Global team was also incredible fun. I actually looked forward to spending time in the office which cant be said for most other work places!

  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?
  • The whole idea of BridgeGlobal is personal development through international experiences. I have most definitely gained that and as a result am about to continue my international journey with an international sports marketing company. This would not have been possible without the support provided by BridgeGlobal.

    The Culture

    5/5
