Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
As an engineer I would often be writing C# or SQL code to fix bugs or create new features. When I was a member of an implementation team I would be helping to customising the system for customers specific needs. In development you mainly work on the core product.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
You get given a lot of responsibility as you are working on real tasks for customers straight after training.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend infor to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to infor
I would advice having a car if you are planning to move to the area where the office is located. Other than that just be yourself in the interviews and don't stress over the application process.
