Ill add to that as my wife works in the Canteen, they really look after you there as well.
Had friends who worked there and one who still does, I can attest...its a good place to work by the sounds of it.I tried to get in for the Test/Development engineer role, but I think i was probably lacking in experience/skills for the pay offered which I think was £45k?, though I would have torn their hand off for £30k to get in there and do it! (not that I know, they never even acknowledged my application or that I'd sent cover letter/CV directly to the man who was doing the hiring
).Oh well. Comfortable where I am for the time being. If the role pops up again I shall apply, by then I should have the requisite skills and experience!
