Pros

I joined right after graduation. There are some tech savvy teams where you can learn a lot and have a big impact, but there are also teams where nobody knows what is going on. I was lucky to land in the good ones - make your research before joining.

Cons

Like most big companies, it is hard to have a big impact.

Thanks for taking the time to post a review. Its great to hear that we could offer you the right development opportunity following your graduation. We are still hiring externally however we are making extra sure that we offer our colleagues the opportunity to change roles and develop their skills and capability before we look to the external market. It is really important to us that we can offer varied career paths to colleagues who are considering a change in direction.
