Overview of Role

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

My role changed on a daily basis depending on whether I was working in an Agile Sprint or not. When in a Sprint I spent my day calling and emailing candidates and assessors. Organising and preparing for the Assessment Centre's or running the assessment day. When I was not in a sprint I spent time learning or involved in giveback projects, an important part to company culture.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Yes, I had complete control over my role responsibilities and could run the preparation as I chose with my manager.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

Even though I was virtual for the entire year due to Covid I believe the company culture to be innovative, busy and ever-changing. The general atmosphere was kind with people constantly checking in on me even whilst being virtual.
