Don't make mistakes. As soon as you do, they will feel that you are not suitable for the job. I experienced some health issues at work and took a few days of sick leave (which happened to coincide with a long weekend). After I returned, their attitude changed completely. They no longer let me operate the machines or provided any instruction. So, if you are considering joining this company, please judge for yourself whether it is suitable for you.
