Pros

State of the art office space at Basildon HQ, Open plan office space, encouraging collaborative working, no 'divide' between departments (no feelings of 'them' and 'us'), including easy access to Senior Leadership Team and Directors who are all very approachable, Weekly lunches, including monthly 'naughty' lunch, the workplace encourages and promotes good wellbeing both mentally and physically, Good quality barista style coffee from machines, Free fruit available all week, Private healthcare, 60/40 working split (3x days in office, 2x days at home) with home-office support fund for desk/chairs etc, Budgets for Department outings (i.e. dinners/spa/Go Karting etc), Ample opportunity to work with either 3x local company-chosen charities or with your own preferred charity, Development days allowing you to self-develop either by training courses or working/shadowing with other departments, Gaming nights, Ample opportunity for career growth, regardless of current job position

Cons

I've been here for 15+ years, I wouldn't stick around that long if I didn't like it here!!
