Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I was placed in the ESG department and built a backed service for a screen that's used to display companies' SFDR data (SFDR is a public European regulation). It was a fun project to build, I got to work with trees and there was lots of recursion involved. I also got to write a lot more code than I would have expected. The team is very supportive and always open to help whenever needed.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, absolutely. I got to take ownership for the entire project and had a say in a lot of design decisions.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
A lot of the new things I learned were specific to internal tooling. However, I also got to develop my overall engineering skills tremendously. It is a great place to learn because you are surrounded by excellent engineers who are willing to help and discuss anything at any time.
