1/5
It gives me ideas about the company, but it doesn't benefit my role as such at the moment.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

Yes... but they are mandatory. I would prefer a choice to attend.
