    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • There was always someone available to ask questions on any issue. No question was a stupid one.

    5/5

    • We had a week's initial training in a nice hotel and a few days during the internship of continuous training. We also had online training to complete.

    The Culture
