Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Since my placement was during Covid restrictions, I was unable to go into the office and work face to face. However, we were given many opportunities like on site training days (where interns were called in to use various tools and had group building exercises) and Christmas dinner, where i was able to meet the wider team. Additionally, calls such as the QBR, MS review and Christmas calls allowed the whole HTAS team to mingle. We also have a weekly marketing team calls where we discuss not only work for the week but also have some informal chats.
How would you rate the inclusiveness of the culture?
