Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Working alongside a full-time software engineer on a week long "incubation" project that would be helpful to the company.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
As I was the only intern, this was limited. However, it did provide me with a great opportunity to see what the actual company was like, rather than the marketing gloss of the intern programme.
