Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Usually, I would be involved in testing new release for one of Honda's apps, working with Pre-production vehicles and various mobile devices. I would also assist with day to day operations of the app, and communicating with suppliers to provide the best quality solution for various issues.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I had a large amount of responsibility with quality assurance and testing. I was able to implement my own ideas and was responsible for enforcing them. However, the responsibility I was provided never overwhelmed me, and was very enriching.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
