They are a great company to work for and their business is an admirable one concentrating as it does on the legal pursuit of criminals across the globe.
The role required the usual mix of juggling projects and deadlines with creative work but also required a thorough understanding of all modern multi-media. I'd make a business-critical PowerPoint presentation one day then move on to a huge POS design or a fold-out brochure, a social media & email campaign or writing code in any one of 4 languages.
I'd even decorate the offices and commission signage! I became the go-to guy for any form of tech support and was also happy to take on the role of First Aider.
