The Role
It wa sok didn't have as much work as expected
There wasn't much
My mabager and team were always willing to answer questions
it varies depending on people's workload sometimes I have nothign to do and other times I'm busy. However the amjority of the time I'm not doing much
Given some levels of responsbility on internal dealdines to meet
Time amnagement was improved and communication as you have to email people and follow up on the situation
The Company
It's really friendly, calm but nice and talkative at times
I feel like ti was strucutred but when I went to the indivdual teams there was not much for me to do
Not entirely sure
Company Parties/Events
From the workload I've ha dwhich has been minimal mainly not really interested
The Culture
Yes it was social but I was epxecting the teams to do things mor eoften
It was how much I expected I didn't have to pay for drinks or events I went to
