The lack of communication is very poor.

Not a lot when it comes to asking for help or asking questions, communication is extremely poor from management.

Tutors can be very ignorant and refuse to help at times if you do not understand something.

Gives me a basic understanding of engineering but only a handful of the skills can be transferred over.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
