Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
The role consists of developing software used internally and for external clients. Work throughout the day involves picking up tickets to work on, writing code to make the feature or fixing a bug. Additionally you collaborate with other programmers to innovate a desirable solution to a problem.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
The internship wasn't for that long so I wasn't able to work on external projects, but I was fully responsible for developing code that would not break and/or cause issues for the internal project.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
