2. Learn the company’s culture and regulations

Observe how others in the new company act and you will gain a lot of cultural information in this workplace environment. Do they have lunch at their desks or out? The most stressful job at any time of the day? Do people have time to relax, talk during the day or just focus on work? Do people often communicate via email or direct exchange??
