Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

Working in back-end engineering. A typical day starts with scrum meeting with people I work with, then some coding and designing. Sometimes there would be a meeting with my manager, as well as broader team.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Yes, I was working on a small project responsible for allowing other engineers and financial controllers to do their job more easily. Even though I was led by my mentor, a lot of decisions had to be made from my side first.

I received a lot of support, people were responsive and the atmosphere was very relaxing. The idea was to mostly explore and try to figure things on my own, but if I would get stuck, I would be offered more guidance.
