Everyone makes an effort to remember your name and make you feel welcome, pretty social and very easy to make friends, working hours are respected and there's a variety of things to do, if you prefer certain work you can discuss this with your mentor, Antonia and my mentor Klara were amazing and made every effort to give me any help I needed and were very flexible! Thank you all for the amazing experience!
