Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

Amazing - the company only ever wants the best for their employees and I was looked after the entire time. Throughout my time and with it being during the pandemic, there were multiple offerings of support/guidance. The company offers amazing perks and you mental health is at the fore front. Can't say a bad word
