Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Dependant on the project, usually I will have a stand up at 11am and address any blockers. I will then have some independent time to work on the project such as Python work or R Studio or GIS or a client call. Lunches are usually social with the grads or other interns- I will have a debrief most days as well
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
How much I chose- I liked being in charge of projects so maybe had a lot more than other interns. Usually you were a small part of a larger project
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
