Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Speaking with our customers to help them optimise their cloud spend. This involves onboarding them to our Cloud Health tool, and providing the customer with visability, optimisation, and governance for their cloud environment. The role is heavy on data analysis, so skills in Excel are advantagous
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given alot of responsibility once I was able to prove myself in certain areas. Since this is only an internship I wasnt expected to perform to the same standards are everyone else, however I was given many opportunities to run projects and customer calls solo, which shows the responsibility I was given.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
5/5

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
The culture of Softcat is something very unique. There are always company events going on, people regardless of departments are very friendly. I had the opportunity to shadow teams that were completely unrelated to what my role was. There are also many office specific events which helped me make some friends in my local office.
