Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
Not only have I learned all the skills necessary to have a software testing career but I have also been provided training in other areas such as coding and hardware based tasks. This has propelled me onto a degree apprenticeship in Embedded Electrical Systems Design and Development.

Very well, it has provided me with lots of useful knowledge that I can apply in the workplace.
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, trips are planned but unfortunately a lot of them focus on going to breweries/ beer festivals and I don't drink. There is football biweekly though.
