Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
The company culture within International Networks & Direct-To-Consumer was extremely chatty, friendly and helpful. Being an international team, one thing that stands out was bringing snacks back from the different territories and offering them out to each team.
Everyone knows everyone, people aren't afraid to come up to the desks to talk rather than chat over email - you get to know wider teams as much as your own quickly and easily
