Overview of Role

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

In the morning I would check my emails and ask any questions I had about the work I was doing. I would then work on a program up until lunch. In the afternoon I would do some training and then try to finish up any programming for the day

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Yes, I was required to do the same work as everyone else. There are the same safeguards in quality control that everyone has to make sure you write the correct program

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?

I really enjoyed the work with the team. The only annoying thing is that we were contracted through a company called ermo hays which meant we were on a different system to everyone I worked with in the office which was confusing
