Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
On a daily basis I would come in, email team members to set up meetings. Work on AWS to try and solve a data science problem. This would usually involve a lot of switching between AWS, data camp, and just googling things. I often meet 1-1 with my manager and would spend a few hours in the afternoon shadowing a recent grad who is working in data & analytics.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Not much. I think I was working in a team where I couldn't work directly with the data and issues at hand due to the risk of the models and the sensitivity of the data but this did not mean I was any less involved in my team.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
The general company culture is quite calm and reserved. People are focused and invested in their work. In speaking with many people, the work is not always thrilling but maintain a level of academic type interest and new research to come up with solutions. The people are generally very kind and welcoming.
