Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Worked in the public cloud team, for the internship developed stand-alone project that would help our team. Worked on creating application that would streamline our teams work for the 10 weeks I was here. Day consisted of standups, blocks of coding throughout the day, shadowing and having meetings arranged by recruitment team or team I worked in.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Compared to the work my team did, project was stand-alone. However daily standups insured we were kept on track and motivated to complete the work. The responsibility meant meeting stakeholders often, to streamline our project work and ensure features are always being implemented.
