Ocado Group |

I feel incredibly well supported. This is honestly where I think the culture at Ocado and the graduate programme as a whole really shine. I started with basically no technical knowledge, and in each team I have been in, the support I have received from my managers, team members, and colleagues outside the team has been unparalleled. What I appreciate most is how everyone is so willing to give up their time to help you, regardless of whether you have been at Ocado for 10 weeks or 10 years.

On a more serious side, the company is also really good at making sure we all have a good work life balance so there are plenty of social opportunities where you can get to know lots of other people! The offices are huge - so it’s nice to be able to meet other people working in different sectors of the business as well as being able to take a bit of time away from work every now and then!

What appealed to me about joining Ocado Group's graduate programme was the company’s commitment to innovation and cutting-edge technology, positioning it as one of the global leaders in automation.

The culture, it feels like everyone at Ocado is rooting for you to succeed. At university I was exposed to a very competitive environment, your work was graded against other students, and everyone was in competition for the same placements/grad jobs, however this is totally different at Ocado.

Graduating from university can feel like standing at a crossroads, unsure which path to take. For me, that uncertainty was particularly strong. With a degree in History, I wasn’t sure how my skills could translate into a career. I’d always seen myself as someone with strong interpersonal skills, a passion for teamwork and a love of learning, but I didn’t know where to channel that energy. Then I discovered Ocado Group.

Think you know Ocado Group? If you’re picturing a grocery website and delivery vans right now, think again. Instead, picture the biggest technology disruptor in the retail industry.

If you want to join a big tech employer and work on cutting-edge technology, look no further than Ocado Group’s software engineering graduate programme.
