Why work for ANS?

At ANS we try to do things a bit differently. We don’t settle for ‘that’ll do’ or for ‘that’s how we usually do it’. We’re a diverse, curious crowd and we like to know why things are done in a certain way. Not just for the sake it, but because we want to change things, to improve them, to create something special. We’re a down to earth, straight-talking bunch. Who have great ideas, do amazing work and who don’t accept the usual ways of doing things.

There are about 650 of us who think like this, helping to mould one of the UK’s few £1 billion tech businesses. So, you know you’ll be working with lots of other smart, daring, like-minded people.

The important thing is what we do together.

Our culture is built on mentoring and progression, so whether you’re an apprentice just starting out, or joining us with years of experience, our goal is simple. We want to find the best talent and invest in our people so that they can be the best they want to be, because when you progress, so do we.
