    Whats the culture\environment like?
    Any good restaurants on site or in the area?
    Last time I worked at Winnersh Triangle, area was like a new town, with nada around.
    Heads up appreciated...

    I worked there 2009/2010. Cut the rates twice in 4 months. Canteen was pies and sandwiches ever day. Hopefully things have changed for the better.
    I was an IPSE Consultative Council Member, until the BoD abolished it. I am not an IPSE Member, since they have no longer have any relevance to me, as an IT Contractor. Read my lips...I recommend QDOS for ALL your Insurance requirements (Contact me for a referral code).

      My brother worked his way up from grunt to senior management. Lasted about 8 months in senior role before handing in resignation to read psychology.

      He felt that moral was significantly higher on the trains and buffet car than in that office.

          The George Pub next to the Showcase Cinema is fairly decent - went under a referb some time last year.. also the Pheasant Inn at Winnersh is also a decent place - not much around Winnersh Trianle really - think theres a cafe in the area somewhere...
