The Role
My manager was hugely supportive and met with me on a weekly basis to catch up and offer support when needed. The wider team also stepped in to assist when my manager was away with great effect.
Busy in certain weeks, however quiet in the final couple of weeks.
A fair degree of responsibility, I was in charge of my own projects to do and this gave me autonomy to undertake the task as I would like to
Learning agile was a hugely helpful skill and I undertook an agile training session over two days which was interesting. My ability to present and communicate also improved on the internship
