    • 5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Tuesday afternoons, Wednesdays and Thursday mornings would be quite quiet in terms of workload. Fridays, Mondays and Tuesday mornings were when I felt I was really doing a lot of meaningful work. I tended to get a little bored during the quiet periods but I am happy that it wasn't all the time but I could have done with a bit more to do. I perhaps could have took initiative to find more to do.

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • It wasn't very dull but it wasn't lively either. It was how I expected a professional working environment should be. Sometimes there would be a bit of banter but it would die down quickly. This is completely understandable as everyone had important things to do and couldn't spend too long just chatting. I actually preferred it this way especially when I had my own things to do. It helped with me feeling like everyone was very approachable and professional.
