8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

Yes there are lots of extra curricula activities. We are always asked if we wish to do volunteer work, paid like a normal working day from the company for doing some social works. There are also some internal challenges between teams that push us to give our best and win the competition as a team. Very nice idea.

Do your best to get in the company and you will not regret that.
