Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
Working in my team. We start every day with a stand up to update one another on our progress working on "tickets". We work in pairs, programming to build new features, maintain existing features and fix bugs regularly.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I am really enjoying the programme. I feel well supported by my team and it is a very welcoming place to work. It has been a great challenge so far.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I am continually learning and developing my skills as a software engineer, specifically in learning a completely new language, Java, and in how the coding fundamentals I have learnt apply to a real life business context.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
The programme is well structured and organised, although there is a degree of flexibility due to how the work varies.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
My employer has been very supportive. I have had many meetings with people from different areas of the business which has helped give me a greater understanding of the wider business context of my work. Within my team, I have regular catch ups with my tech lead, scrum master and buddy.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
We have regular meetings and all of the coaches at Multiverse have been very kind and supportive.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
The qualification and course has helped give a strong basis to perform better in my role.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
I have joined a work hiking group and we did a very snowy walk in Wales last month - which was great. We have another hike planned for next month. I have joined for our socials which has also been really nice.
