Great work environment with helpful coworkers. Nice benefits and opportunities to learn more.
What I wish was different
I'd hoped to have more of a mentor to walk me through new tasks. There was a lot of learning on my own, which is good but difficult when working with new software and sensitive material.
Advice
I recommend studying as much as possible on one's own time. Take advantage of time and resources given for free like Lynda.
