Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I was working remotely as a part of a team to maintain and improve capital one services. As an intern I worked on my own intern project with the help of a buddy and a mentor.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Although I was mainly working on my intern project I was also given responsibility as they made me engineer of the sprint and I had to do daily checks and updates to containers. So there was enough that it felt manageable.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
