Hi CompSoc!
Tragedy strikes this week, as Silver sponsor *StarLeaf* are unable to join us for their tech talk on Wednesday. We haven’t been able to get a replacement for this week, but we’re working hard to get a doubly interesting talk next week to make up for it!
We were too lazy to come up with an exciting new theme for this Saturday’s event, so we’re gonna play some Smash! If you have a Switch, or some controllers then please bring them if you can so we can get a few games set up concurrently. If Smash isn’t your thing, rumour has it that CompSoc has recently upgraded its VR capabilities…
In other news, Gold sponsor *Cisco* are offering a fast track system for graduate software positions at our old sponsor *Ensoft*. They’ll be taking place here in Oxford at the start of March, and you can find out how to apply for them below.
See you on Saturday!

We just want to play some Smash to be honest.
Please bring a Switch/some controllers if you have them! ------------------------------ Sponsor Notices Ensoft Cisco - Fast track to assessment center for graduate software engineers
#WeAreCisco, where each person is unique, but brings their talents to work as a team and make a difference. You want to make a difference. We do too, which is why our vision is changing the way we work, live, play and learn.
Ensoft are an engineering team within Cisco that works with global service providers, developing software that connects the world. The internet depends evert day on the code we write. It’s challenging work that matters. It’s also fun: excelling at work writing complex software is what we enjoy.
We’ve grown by taking a few of the best graduates each year (mostly from Oxford and Cambridge ) who have then built careers with us by learning from our world class development organization. It’s an ideal environment for bright, creative people with an interest in software. Computer science knowledge and coding experience are obviously very valuable, and give a head start on this path. They aren’t essential though, as long as you can show us that you are enthusiastic about a career in software, and have the right aptitude. The working environment is outstanding, social life is very active, and the benefits are top notch! All engineering employees share in Cisco’s considerable financial success.
*FAST TRACK TO ASSESSMENT CENTRE*
We are hosting an Assessment Centre on the 4 March, Said Business School in Oxford . If would like to be considered for this opportunity please click on the link below and upload your CV.
