Hi, Glad you had a good time and met some great people here. I assume you joined as a grad, but can't really tell how long you worked with us for, or in which location. We are still growing at quite a fast pace, but are always working on better ways to bring new joiners into the business. If you are based in the UK please register for the Alumni event in September in London and talk to some of the staff to share your experiences so we can continue our improvement.

Thanks for your review, it's difficult to respond without knowing what office and location you're referring to (we have around 35 at the last count in 4 continents!) It has been historically difficult to advertise who we are and what we do, but our marketing team have certainly stepped it up during the course of the past year. We have superb collateral now available to us, digital and television advertising and have even managed to integrate a video player into a print advert in the Forbes Global Game Changers special edition. **n.b. I don't work in our Marketing department, but am certainly feeling the benefits.**
