Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Monday and Fridays we work on our development and the two projects that we had been assigned on. On the rest of the day we work on our placement, which in mine consisted in a variety of things to help my team with the BAU.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Most of the time the work was going to be revised again by someone else on my team, but they gave me responsibility to do the work on my own. There were some projects were my team had full responsibility
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
