Testimonials

The word from graduates

“Having mentors who understood our journey was invaluable. Navigating the complexities of payments was made easier by Electrum’s culture of collaboration. Starting with fellow grads created a sense of camaraderie, enhancing our technical skills and ability to collaborate. I earned the opportunity to lead two major projects from analysis to production. There’s nothing more rewarding than your work making a tangible impact on the community.”

“I find it super challenging to start somewhere new. Day #1 comes with the anxieties of being plunged into a world of new people and unknown expectations. Luckily, having a programme that guides your first weeks at Electrum made this process a whole lot easier. It gave me a chance to move into the new role in my own time and with a level of trust I wasn’t expecting. I really grew alongside my fellow grads, both in my dev ability and confidence! Not to mention the epic times we had while doing so.”

At Electrum, every day is filled with new opportunities to learn and grow. The BA Grad Programme has helped me easily transition into my role as an IT Business Analyst.

In the Graduate Programme, you get the opportunity to grow and prove yourself. It’s a really great work environment where you’re treated as if you know what you’re doing, even if you’re fresh out of university. You’re given a lot of responsibility, but never more than you can handle. It teaches you how to interact with internal and external stakeholders at all levels and voice your opinion. You get a deep understanding of payments software and the industry as a whole. Plus, the free Romaney Cremes and Salticrax are great.
