Not a lot no... But this is the link which is attached to one of the emails... It describes a bit more about the Digital Enterprise part of the business. Hope it helps!

What is everyone's thoughts about the graduate scheme being based in Newbury? I don't live anywhere near Newbury, I am from London and live about 60 miles from the Newbury HQ. If I am successful it will probably cost me thousands per year to get to work (with train fares etc). Company and role looks so great but I am worried about how I am going to commute, save money etc.

Anyone thought about this? Would be nice to hear a strategy, bound to be some Londoners who have applied!

Hi I haven't heard the best about it from someone who had an offer for the scheme last year & rejected it. I'm from Manchester so travelling very far to go to the AC tomorrow & I want a grad scheme in London for a couple years for the experience even though they have a Manchester campus I want to be in London for 2 years even if I don't save much my closest friends are there but it all depends on how much you want a scheme & how many offers you get or which!

I thought the last AC was March 13?! I applied for Commercial & it got changed to digital enterprise & had the AC in Newbury on 8 March so no clue what's going on :/

I don't have a clue either? I was initially supposed to do the HR scheme but had a university test so wasn't able to attend the AC on Feb 15th so got moved to Commercial.
Fingers crossed you get the job for Digital Enterprise as they're taking quite a while with the feedback

I live in London but accepted my offer in February so guess I'll be moving to either Reading or Newbury. Don't think I could hack the commute, not sure if you went to the assessment centre via train but it was absolutely rammed! The free vodafone bus that takes you between different stops in Newbury and the HQ is super convenient though so worth bearing in mind if you're thinking of moving.

As a side note, any other lurkers (like me) who have been accepted on to the Discover scheme?
