Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
I think the team culture was really good and enjoyed alot. I think however the company culture could be a bit more accommodating to UK undergrads and have more understanding that naturally they will be less experienced. A greater focus on helping them to develop and looking more at their potential and motivation would be nice.,
