Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
In a team of 10, most of colleagues are in India, helping to push forward a product in Finance by creating different projects. Meeting up for sprints and coding most of the time. Good hours and really social culture.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, given around 2 projects to do that will actually contribute to the team overall. You are mainly left to deal with yourself - which I prefer.
