Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I was responsible for building a platform that allows engineers to view the internal state of an application both during local development and in production. During my internship, I was working hybrid - 2 days in office and 3 days from home. Pretty much like any other company - daily stand up meeting to catch up on the work that has been completed since yesterday.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, which is something i really enjoyed. I was given the opportunity of working on the project independently since the team was very small. That helped with my time management skills
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
The company culture is like any other bank in my opinion. It has both its good and bad side. Long working hours is very common and sometimes feels like it's the norm to stay past 5:30pm. The general atmosphere can be a bit intimidating at first but once you get used to your team and people around you, it gets better.
How would you rate the inclusiveness of the culture?

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I really enjoyed my internship as I was able to learn new skills and put them into practice to build a platform that is going to be used by others. I was working quite independently which allowed me to also learn the skills at my own pace, without rushing through things.
