    • 3/5
  • 11. How appealing are future employment prospects within the organisation?

    • I am left feeling a little put off - however, benefit of the doubt due to coronavirus and other difficult circumstances. I feel it was largely the sector of work I didn't enjoy in tangent with the team giving me very little to do.
