The Company:

This company is a business run by engineers, meaning all of their directors and management have been engineers or technical team members in the past.

They are selective in projects they take on, favouring high-level and complex projects where they are required to solve specific problems that make a large impact for their customers. This company typically deploys teams onto projects for at least a year and there is an option for rotation following this. They do not provide services that only require one developer on a project, so you will always be operating with a team.
