“I’ve worked in the Cloud team for a number of years now and really enjoy it. It’s a really nice, small but collaborative team who work hard and try to do the right things, in the right way.
This means the team is a really supportive environment for user centred design. where you will be given freedom to explore your ideas and test your practice as you see fit.”
