What do you like most about your job?
I think that it’s great that graduates are treated exactly the same way as experienced staff. When new assignments are distributed to the team, every member of the team can choose what they would like to work on. If you lack experience in one area, extra time is given to allow you to become familiar in that area. I enjoy working with a group of highly experienced people who are more than happy to let me discover things for myself but help me out when I need it.
