Skills
Learnt several new technologies such as (so far): React.js Docker AWS Kubernetes As well as learning how a software side of the company operates.
Responsibilities
At the start not much responsibility was given on to me, but gradually I am getting tasks to do and technology to learn.
Support & Guidance
I was given quite a bit, being able to talk to me team lead and my manager for any support as well as having a mentor who gives advice on how to make the most of the placement.
Culture
The atmosphere is very corporate so you will be needed to generally be acting professional but co-workers are polite and nice to work with.
Your Impressions
So far, I have enjoyed it quite a lot especially compared to University, The corporate atmosphere might be better for some but would have liked something a bit more relaxed personally. The work given is stimulating and structure is great. Although coming in with not much knowledge of the company made it harder to understand the structure and how things work at the start.
Yes
Do your background research on the company try to learn more about the innerworkings or anything to prepare for your role. Also make sure you are better equipped communication-wise and not just for the skills needed for the role.
