With this being my first ever job, I don't have too much to compare Haydn Evans to. What I can say is that I have enjoyed my time here so far. The work I've done has been both interesting and new to me, my co-workers are all very friendly and willing to help or explain things to me when I need it and there are many entertaining conversations that happen in the office. I feel that all of this has helped me settle in at Haydn Evans a lot faster than I ever expected to.
