Pros

The overall office environment is always lively and the canteen food is amazing as well as being incredibly affordable! Everyone supports you as a new starter and frequently encourages and welcomes any and all questions. Of course the flexibility that dynamic working allows is incredibly useful when creating a work-life balance!

Cons

Since the pandemic a lot of people work from home so often the offices can be somewhat scarce on Mondays and Fridays but those that are still in the office still bring a positive and lively atmosphere with them.
