Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

I work on the with Typescript using tools such as GraphQL and React on a daily basis. We are in charge of our own web package in a universal UI library that was developed internally. We also have to test our package works across other libraries and tools that use it internally.
I also work on the backend, returning the GraphQL queries with Kotlin. This handles all the information that needs to be rendered across different devices.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Yes! I was put on a customer facing project. Was integrated just like another employee with my team and worked like someone full time would. I was also provided the extra help and resources when required.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

Everyone is very kind, chilled and the atmosphere overall is amazing. Workload is never too much to stress someone out completely while you also don't get bored. It's a perfect balance in my eyes.
