Pros

My degree is paid for by the company. I get a competitive wage (25k+), much higher than anyone else my age! Very flexible-it does depend on what client you work for however I'm onto my third and I've never had problems getting time off when needed. Still get paid when you're between projects. I still have a year and a half left of my degree and once I'm finished I have a permanent role with the company. Lots of opportunities to travel, I have never worked in one place for over a year, been up and down the country. Great benefits for example can buy holiday days. Get all travel, accommodation and food paid for when working away and usually have work from home Fridays to encourage work life balance.

Cons

A little slow with my promotions-I'm about 6 month behind my peers through no fault of my own just due to not being on a project for first part of year. Sometimes takes a while to get moved onto projects so sit 'on the bench'. If you don't like travel this isn't the role for you, I thought i would be working out of Manchester however I've only been to the Manchester office twice since I started 3 1/2 years ago, you work on client site mainly. Usually stay away monday-thurs in the week while on client site.

Thank you for taking the time to post a review. As you know, we hold our Degree Apprenticeship programme in really high regard and it's great to hear that you're enjoying being a part of it. You're right that many of our roles come with travel, and we appreciate that a travelling job doesn't suit everyone. Thanks also for calling out some of the flexible working options we try to offer where possible, to help our employees maintain a healthy work life balance.
