The Role
learning curve was steep but would've prefered a much better team environment
very few contact/involvement by other team members.
just once or twice, minimal guidance without proper instructions.
quite busy during the first half of the day, relatively relaxed during the later half.
was given proper tasks which really added value to the process
software skills, presentation skills, product and financial knowledge
The Company
very quite and formal, people not much involved with each other
had problems in communicating with manager/HR.
had many seminars, training, awareness sessions. was very helpful
hoping for the best
The Culture
Yes, had many social events which were great
Expensive
really quiet
just one!
