Working in STEM

Who better to talk about what it’s like to work in STEM than the very people that are working here? Let’s hear from our employees:

“I get to work with technology that I didn’t know existed! But it’s the people I love most about my job. We pride ourselves on creating an open and inclusive atmosphere – I love coming to work every day.” Jenna

“I work with new and developing technologies, so I’ve never stopped learning. I love paying it forward by working with the next generation to support their journey into STEM.” Richard

“The agencies have created a learning-based culture that encourages you to be the best version of yourself and tackle real-world issues.” Luis

“At MI6, the environment is warm and inclusive. Everybody has made me feel welcome and they’re always willing to help with any questions – which, as a new starter, is a lot!” Angela

“My advice to those new in STEM? Learn as much as you can. Never rule yourself or anything out; stay curious as you never know where it might lead.” Mo

“You get to work with incredibly innovative, cutting-edge technology, alongside cool partners from various business areas to solve unique problems.” Jordan

“GCHQ allows me to use my STEM skills in a unique way while meeting our agencies’ goal – keeping the country safe.” Leah

“As a software engineer, I’m encouraged to develop my knowledge. Different aspects of the software lifecycle, information assurance or getting closer to the customers – it all benefits my career and ultimately the department.” Ryan

“Working in STEM at MI5, I get to work with people who are experts in their fields.” Meera
