Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role as an engineer was to write code to fix bugs or add a new functionality. On an implementation team you deal with extending the system based on what the customer requires. In dev you fix any bugs that are found and add new system functionality that everyone can use. One a day-to-day basis I normally use SQL, C# and sometimes Oracle.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Lighthouse like to give you a lot of responsibility straight out of training. Once you move into a team you're basically treated as a normal employee and will work on everything. They do provide you with a lot of support and whenever you get stuck their is always someone who can help.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
