Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Daily scrum call, followed by work on projects picked up or personal development. If you are on call then you can be called in during the day and join a meeting to solve a problem. If you chose to there are lots of ERGs (employee resource groups) that you can join and work with more.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, with the major incident work a lot of responsibility is put on you to ensure that messages are going out to the client and internally. There is a certain amount of responsibility to completing the projects you have assigned to you within a deadline.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
