Overview of Role

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

The first two weeks were a comprehensive training course. Then I was put onto a project where my day consisted of a stand-up meeting with the team in the morning and then working on client tickets through the rest of the day. Every other day there was also a stand up with the client.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

I was given quite a lot for a summer internship. I was treated like a member of the team and so, whilst all my code was reviewed, that was just normal practice.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?

I've learnt an incredible amount. Not only has my fluency in different programming languages increased, I've learnt how to work in a large code base. I've also developed my skills of creating a relationship with a client.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?

There was a lot of support. My line manager checked in once a week and everyone was incredibly friendly so I felt I could ask anyone for help. My team was happy to help and always around to ask questions to.

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

Ghyston is a very friendly and close-knit company. It was great that they put on many events where we could get to know the other interns and the rest of the company. It had a very relaxed atmosphere and everyone was happy to be at work.
