Overview of Role

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

Daily stand-ups, agile sprint work. Working on highly classified project with talented individuals. Lots of learning taking place and opportunity to get involved.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

As an intern expectations are low but the opportunity to perform is endless. The more you put in the more you get. In my case I was given a-lot of responsibility as I worked through tickets on a real project.

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?

I enjoyed my internship, working with experienced professionals and a live project. However I was placed on a project solo so from the get go with, so it may have been good to work with another intern. Although for other interns they were paired up. But the experience I got was invaluable!
