Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Amberjack to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Amberjack
Be prepared for high workloads, especially during annualised hours, where you can be working at 8:30-6.
I would also recommend living near to Newbury. I had 3 hour commutes each way which became quite exhausting, especially during the first months when you need to be in every day. It is hybrid working, so after the first two months, you are only in the office for 2 days a week.
