A Typical Day at the Office

When you come in, you can grab a coffee or a bit of breakfast from one of the many (subsidised) cafés or restaurants on site. Settle in at your desk, have a quick look at Slack to see what's happening in the tech communities, then catch up with everyone at the team stand-up. After that, you'll join your team and pick the first task to get cracking on. At lunchtime, you've got a few choices: head to The Pavilion for a bite with the team, pop to the onsite gym for a quick workout, or join in with a lunchtime community meetup - whatever suits you. Once you're back, you'll carry on working with your team on your current feature. Later in the afternoon, the team might fancy a quick coffee break before wrapping up the day with a team retrospective.
