Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

Best company culture I have seen, period. Excellent atmosphere, amazing people, great social experiences and just an overall vibe that makes you want to show up to work every morning. We had great socials (summer parties, BBQ, pub nights, board game nights, innovation evenings and so much more) which kept me thoroughly engaged.
