  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Normal working day is 09:00-17:30 and it was really up to the intern to use this time effectively. In most teams, there was always something to do, and in order to learn more about the industry and dynamics of the company, I would offer to helm people around me with their tasks.
