Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My day-to-day tasks revolve around picking up stories from our kanban board and completing them within a specified time period. These tasks would vary depending on the quarter as there would be a defined quarterly objective that myself and the team would want to complete.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, i was given the same level of responsibility as every other member in the team. At the start, I worked on smaller projects that were still effective so that I could learn the business in the process, and by the second quarter, I was working on the same projects as the rest of the team while learning to be more independent in these projects.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Oracle has many groups which help you entail your interests during work. There are many projects that you can get involved in outside your line of business which can be beneficial as they expose you to a different side of the business than what you may be used to.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Oracle to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Oracle
I would suggest getting yourself out there. By that I mean, don't feel like once you are in your role that now it is the only thing that you'll do, as time and time again, there will be projects and events that you can participate in, while also having the opportunities doing the things that you enjoy doing.
