    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • The atmosphere was productive and with people talking to others to find information out. While it was very useful most of the time it could get noisy at times. Everyone encouraged each other and people always willing to listen and give advice to issues that you found yourself in.
