This month's feature - We asked our software team for the reasons why they enjoy developing software at Granta. This is what they said:

1. We work alongside smart people

2. We have flexible hours in a light, airy, office

3. Our projects are fast-growing, challenging, and demanding

4. We like to learn to improve and share knowledge with each other

5. We write unit tests, use source control, run continuous builds, develop in short iterations, and have fixed-in-time releases

6. We have fast machines, dual monitors, and an MSDN subscription for access to the latest technologies

7. We love the espresso machine, decent filter coffee and tea, and regular company lunches

8. We work in central Cambridge but have ample parking for cars and bikes

9. We’re a young (-ish) team but appreciate the generous pension and other great benefits

10. We have a joker on the team who keeps us laughing
