    The Role

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • I felt extremely valued by MMT to the point where being a Student didn't effect colleagues opinions on the work I could handle. I was treated as a full-time Developer.

    5/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Coming from a design background before starting placement, I've now fully moved into the development stack with a solid understanding of Front-end and Back-end technologies. I've also gained a great understanding of Agile and Scrum processes which will prove useful when working on Team projects during university.
