8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

Yes lots, as with university they are all there to do, but you need to self start somewhat and actively seek to be involved with all the activities that are going on. Work supports extra curricular activities, through funding, providing time away from work and just with general enthusiasm.
