Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Go-Ahead London to a friend?
Yes
Why?
In terms of learning and helping someone achieve something new, different and that was once beyond their reach I would highly recommend, but I would also give them a heads up in regards to work/life balance as it does take some time getting use too
How well did the role match your expectations based on the recruitment process?
2/5
When considering the recruitment & onboarding process, have you any specific tips or advice you would give to others applying to Go-Ahead London?
I would say go for it, the training school and the driver programme is very helpful, useful, insightful and will help anyone get to where they want to get too, in regards to being a driver and if im not mistaken, Go Ahead do recruit from within so if driving wasnt for them, there are other sectors in the organisation they might fit in
