Too early to tell. It’s been less than 3 weeks out of two years. So far it’s been good.

Not in my role yet. Only in fourth week of training so can’t comment accurately on this question.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
2/5
I believe so but not in role yet so haven’t had the opportunity to explore these areas.
