    Culture

  • 5. What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

    • Most People worked a Hyfelx work week with chosen hours and working locations. As a result their was less of a Buzz in the office unless meeting where taking place. This resulted in me not knowing individuals from my department as quickly, unless I was working with them on a project. Regardless, the culture felt very well knit, accepting, and at no point did I feel like a student: In meeting and conversations I always felt of equal value to the rest of the people present
