Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

5/5

Day to day I work on lots of different tasks from software design, development and testing. I work closely with my colleagues learning from their wisdom and experience. The work can be very varied as you change placements every six months, meaning you get to experience lots of different areas of the business.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
