Support & Guidance
Received a lot of support. Had a very good line manager who checked up on me. The person I reported to most was the head of the team I was working within who was very good at supporting me through the task. He would explain basics and reasons as to why we are doing the task which was helpful. Never had a problem asking for help. Team environment, everyone was helpful and contributed.
Culture
Very nice atmosphere. Would all eat lunch together. After work drinks were common which was nice to bond with team members and to meet members not in the same team. Very flexible with working week. Social trips across offices.
