    Don't punch anyone in the face. They don't like it.

    Seriously though, as has been said, the links on the right are well worth reading.

    Scope the newest boozer/Greggs/Subway/BrewDog, seek out a kindred spirit in the office and main with him/her/it, and that's it!

    Befriend the receptionist and IT support, and you won't go far wrong.

    Pro tip: Learn all you need to know at least 6 months before your first day. Sorry, you missed the boat.

    Seriously, there are so many tips, you need to start at the links on the right and work your way through the whole lot

    And good luck.
