Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

Great culture, very inclusive and everyone seems to go above and beyond their duties to be kind. Real emphasis on supporting those living with cancer. Lots of opportunity to get involved and several great employee resource networks, including not so common ones such as carers, neurodiversity and age positive.
