Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Generally, the day starts with a stand-up meeting to update yourself and the team. I also tell the team what I will be working with today.
Then, I would try to help the team or resolve the assigned issues myself.
In short, my role is generally to support the team as much as I can while actively learning about the product I am working with.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes and no. The product I was working with is quite challenging to work with, so I have limited ability to assist the team. However, the team will assign me tasks that I can handle once I have more knowledge about the product. I can acquire this knowledge on my own or with the help of my teammates

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

What advice would you give to others applying to Redgate
Advice for software engineer:
For technical side, I have nothing much to tell other than prepare yourself (algorithm, design pattern, and other general knowledge about programming in general)
For soft skill side, be honest and do a bit of research of company, and see if you are interested in any product developed by Redgate.
