Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
It changes everyday. Some days are spent running customer workshops, others are spent researching a service.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
The work that I do is good and I enjoy it, but there is a lot going on and it can get overwhelming pretty easily.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I’ve learnt a lot, just within the 6 months I’ve been here. I’ve developed my public speaking skills, I understand working culture better, and I’ve done the cloud practitioner certification.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
It is a lot better organised than a lot of the other programs, our managers know our capabilities and always have relevant things for us to work on.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
I receive a lot of support from those I work with.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
2/5
There is some support available but it is not always applicable.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
It is useful to some extent, but not a lot at this stage, I suspect it will be more useful later on.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
Yes, there are lots of activities available, but there is not always time to go to them.

Would you recommend Amazon to a friend?
Yes
Why?
It’s a tough place to work but rewarding - I like my team and there are lots of opportunities.

Be your authentic self.
