What are the Best and Worst things about your job?

Best

The team and company culture are the best - you will always love coming in to work. Ability to travel. Getting to work on so many projects at once and getting your hands on some very important/expensive projects. It's a small company, so it's a bit easier to shine.

Worst

Pay less than industry standards, but not horrible. Graduates in the US are now hourly, so our work is restricted to 40 hours.

What is the annual salary for this role?

Starting salary: £27,000 - £29,000

Current salary: £27,000 - £29,000

What hours do you actually work, on average?

Start: 08:45

Finish: 17:30

What advice would you give to someone applying to this role?

Be honest. Be smart. Make sure you know a bit of basic math and puzzle-solving skills. Be professionally dressed even on the recorded Skype interview.

Do you have any interview tips?

Be willing to work in teams and to take on tasks that don't seem directly geared toward the job you want. For example, if someone needs to work on a finance section but you want a marketing job, then show your diverse skill set by doing a bit of finance and contributing creative ideas like a marketeer. Think of any question you might be asked about your project/presentation and have an answer ready. Part 1 is working in a bigger group and time is a big crunch, so be careful. Part 2 is working in a smaller group, so make sure to flush out your ideas more fully and be ready to actually present to the interviewers. And be social at the lunch - make sure they know your name.
