Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
We pick up tickets, code (fullstack) to create a feature, peer review, QA test.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Although our trainers assign us tickets, we are fully responsible of implementing them and I am glad that we also get to review our teammate's code and improve the quality together!
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I learnt a lot about how an Agile workflow is supposed to be. I learnt a lot about git version controls, react and my coding skills have improved a lot! I feel like I am able to write clean and precise code now!

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
We had a 2 week bootcamp so we learnt some basic skills at the very first. And along us working on the project, we also improve as we work and trainers give us really useful suggestions on both code and our career path, they make sure we don't work overtime too. There is also a mentorship system which makes sure we are doing well mentally and that we are enjoying what we are doing!

Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
I absolutely love the company culture, including the free breakfast we got, the high-quality but affordable (almost cheap) lunch meals we get, the fun morale events like boardgames, volleyball, sword-fighting. And everyone is really encouraging and nice to work with!
How would you rate the inclusiveness of the culture?
