Q: What time do you come to work?
A: I come to work at 9AM.
Q: What is the first thing you do after arriving at work?

Lunch at Sony cannot be better – at The Hub, they serve different and always amazing international food everyday alongside the usual burger and deli stations. I eat with my colleagues and friends from school – if we are not in a rush, we head to the rooftop and enjoy the beautiful sun.

Q: Any fun story or episode to share?
