Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role within JLR has been one of the main engineering designing and implementing AI models within a project scope.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a very good amount of responsibility. This was given to me gradually so I never actually felt daunted by the responsibility. It was a very good way of naturally allowing me to take on more responsible roles within the project at my own pace and understanding how I control said responsibilities in my own manner.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I have learnt so many skills during my time here. I have become much more confident in team leading, planning and the quality of my code has sky-rocketed. I have also learnt so much about industrial development and application of AI systems.

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Amazing. There was a time for small talk and a little jokes, then we could switch into talking about work at the drop of a hat. We all knew we were only human and that our expectations were reflected as such.

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I I love working with AI and have done for years before this point. So from my point of view it was business as usual apart from this time I was being paid! The work I was given was interesting and engaging to myself. It felt as though my line manager and team organisers knew what my strengths were and gave me work that could be done to the highest quality with me.
