Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
I only operated (and mainly interacted with) people from one area of Centrica but in that area everyone was welcoming and friendly. It felt like everyone wanted me to get the most out of the year as possible. The culture was also relaxed especially in terms of coming into the office, with their flexible working policy (Min 1 office day a month), however I often came in more than this, which shows the friendly and enjoyable atmosphere in the workplace.
How would you rate the inclusiveness of the culture?

Recommendations & Advice

Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Centrica
Make an effort to expand and widen your network, and use the large scale of the business as it will present you many opportunities outside of your role, gaining a broad range of experiences.
