Overview of Role

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

The roles are quite varied. They range from consulting to developing and delivering. The day to day basis depends on the team, but it usually consisted of a daily standup, meetings with client if the role is client facing, team meetings and individual work.
I have been given a lot of responsibilities; coding and delivering programming scripts to the team and leading client meetings.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

I was given quite a lot of responsibilities. I was leading meetings with the client. I also wrote entire scripts used by a large team

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?

On a project, the support varied depending on the manager I had. The support was excellent for my second project but mediocre on the first one. It is very hard to get support when not on a project, it is difficult to know who to talk to (there are too many layers) and many people do not respond until a week later/at all.

How would you rate the support and guidance from your line manager?

5/5

How would you rate the support and guidance from the wider team?

4/5

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

The general atmosphere varied on the team and the project we were on. There were quite a few social after the covid restriction lifted, which was a great opportunity to meet people.
The company is very inclusive. However, I found it hard to connect with people as there are too many people; it is quite easy to be left out.

How would you rate the inclusiveness of the culture?

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?

I did not enjoy the placement during the first 6 months because the onboarding process was chaotic and they assigned me to a project which did not correspond at all to the job description or to what I wanted to do. It was hard to get off the project. After I found a project, I started to enjoy it more.
