Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend S&W to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to S&W
When applying, the focus is mainly on how you can apply any skills you have from any activites/work you have done to different problems. You are not expected to have any idea what you are doing when you first join and have very detailed training while you are there. Focus on how you applied skills to stuff you have already done in the interview/application.
