First CentralSo much excitement around last week's DATAfest conference for our curious First Central colleagues.

In the past successful colleagues have won funds for schools’ projects, young persons’ and domestic violence charities, horticultural programmes an

First Central Reviews
Pros
There is an impressive internal culture at First Central which although it's a very fast-paced business, there's still a relaxed, non-hierarchical vibe. The salaries are fair and there a good range of benefits for all colleagues. Flexible and hybrid working was a huge selling point for me as I didn't want to feel forced into an office 5 days a week and First Central is a truly flexible and hybrid working company - they don't just claim to be as so many others do!
Cons
I quite honestly can't think of a con
