In many internship programmes, it can be easy for Interns toswallowed in a big corporate but here at BC we keep innovation and creativity at the heart of what we do, which means we are keen to hear your thoughts!
In a start-up environment, there is no hiding away from getting stuck in.

Are you BC? What Were Looking For
Regardless of level of experience, here at BC there are a few fundamental values we holdparamount for all team members:
Curious people in BC are inquisitive, they want to understand why and consider if there is a better approach rather than take on the its how weve always done it perspective. Given our ethos is all about disrupting industries withnew methods and products, curiosity is at the heart of what we do.
Doers surprisingly this isnt a given in a lot of working environments; we are a community of pro-active self-starters. We will provide full support to ourinternsbut look for people who can use their initiative and driveon a daily basis. Working in an environment where everyone has this trait is incredibly refreshing and we strive to maintain it.
Flexible Mindset working in an early-stage environment is ambiguous, diverse andchaotic by definition. Being adaptable and recognising the importance of flexibility to add value in a constantly evolving company is vital for us.
Passion you do not need to be a techy at heart to work in our environment. What we are looking for though, is people who are passionate about what digital is doing to industries and a thirst to work in a pioneering sector which represents said motive. A passion for doing things new and challenging makes coming into work a whole lot more fun.
Humble & Sociable building a tech start-up is never easy. As such, we have a no-ego policy and seek out people who bring energy to a team, not drain it. We have a down-to-earth and personable culture, we solve complex problems but dont take ourselves too seriously and look to have fun whilst doing so.
