The programme was... a ppt presentation! No one explained what is the structure, give a more detailed description of the work I had to do, don't even made a guide through a company building. As for my point of career, it was a best possible job anyway, the money was also good. But I felt I will stay on the same level, without an opportunity to build my skills.<br/><br/>Yes, I quitted by first opportunity.
