      Colleagues and the environment you work in are very important, but the main reason I like my job is the problems I have to solve and the things I spend my day doing.

      Hi AnnaTheMarineBiologist (that sounds exciting!),

      I think you captured them all there! It’s very exciting working in the Space sector, but it’s even better to be part of a team that delivers something extraordinary. I think that when you work in a team where everyone has different skills it can be an amazing experience to play your own part and to rely on others too.

      Both. I work in a small team and I would not have stayed for 13 years in this job if I didn’t get on very well with my colleagues. I also love that I get to travel for my work, for conferences and meetings. I’ve been all over Europe and to Pasadena, California for the end of the Cassini mission

      It’s all of them really. But the people I have the pleasure of working with are amazing and that really makes the difference.
