Grads testimonials (Part I) – The dunnhumby experience

"I hadn’t actually heard of dunnhumby before I saw the job advert but it instantly appealed to me when researching the company. I wanted a job that was going to be diverse and interesting with an opportunity to continually learn. Therefore, I thought a job that involved data and insights would always be developing, especially in a highly competitive industry such as retail. Furthermore, the opportunity to rotate around the business provided a great environment for me to discover what I wanted to pursue as a career at an even more granular level."

"The most unexpected element to my experience at dunnhumby has been the social side of work. There are so many events and sports to get involved in, so I would have to say winning the tag rugby league for the last two years is a non-work related highlight. The summer BBQ and dunnhumby live events are a fantastic way to socialise with colleagues away from the office, helping to create a brilliant work life balance." Laurence Brown

"dunnhumby just seemed like the right fit. From the start, even in my interview, the culture really came through. dunnhumby encompassed what I wanted from my first job, an emphasis on learning and growth with the flexibility to choose a career in the area you excelled in. It played to my strengths using data analysis but in a client facing environment, there really wasn’t another option." Bethany Wood

I was thrilled to join a company that would allow me to leverage consumer data and make businesses love their customers." Kavya Munsif

"I decided to choose dunnhumby to start my career because I had an interest in consumer behaviour and shopper insights. I had studied modules such as attitude and attitude change, social psychology, as well as research and statistics in my final year, so dunnhumby felt like a good place to start my career.
