Experienced staff, work with the best products on the market at the forefront of technology, fair apprenticeship wages, flexible working is helpful

Apprenticeship title/course content changed immediately after joining the company without giving us any forewarning or input, still haven't specified what qualification we shall receive for completing the apprenticeship, rotational placement plan only slightly relates to the jobs we applied for, final placements and job opportunities are not guaranteed
