Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
Here you are really treated like any other employee. As you are an apprentice, the biggest expectation on you is to learn. I am delivering things normal software engineers are expected to deliver. As I progress, I am expected to be working at the level of an SDE1 after 1 year of being with amazon. Here I will be treated like any other employee, picking up much harder tasks which will make a larger impact.
