    The Company

    • Very well structured. Our schedule was very tight. We always had something to do whether it was talks or group work or even meeting up with our buddy.

    4/5
  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?

    • I was expecting the atmoshphere to be very competitive. However,this wasn't the case. A lot of the interns were very friendly. There is always someone that you will not get on with but I pretty much goton with everyone. Our project sponsors, buddies and the employees we work-shadowed were all very relaxed even though they had a busy day. They always took the time to explain things we may have not nderstood.
