Pros
Having worked in the technology industry for 28 years across global organisations such as IBM, Verizon, Accenture and Microsoft, joining 1st Central has been different from global corporates, but a genuinely enlightening and rewarding experience. What stands out most is the culture. It is forward-looking, with a strong focus on AI, innovation and digital capability. There is clear buy-in across the organisation. People understand the value of new ways of working and are excited to be part of that shift. This is not just leadership messaging, it is reflected in day-to-day behaviours. Culture is everything to me, and this is where 1st Central really stands out. I genuinely enjoy working with people across all levels. I am surrounded by intelligent, kind and supportive colleagues, and I feel comfortable accessing people regardless of role. This makes the environment highly collaborative and engaging. The mindset here makes a real difference. There is a strong learning culture, with people actively wanting to grow, understand and apply new technologies. This creates a high level of engagement and makes roles in this space both impactful and rewarding. It is an exciting time to be at 1st Central, particularly for those interested in AI and digital transformation. The organisation is thinking ahead and building strong foundations to evolve how services are delivered to customers. What i love the most: Strong culture of innovation and AI adoption High levels of engagement and curiosity across the workforce Collaborative, supportive and accessible people at all levels
