    Overview

    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
  • That depends on how you define it. Nothing I was doing as production code, for obvious reason, however my project was entirely my own and so I was given a lot of agency and responsibility in terms of the project itself


  • Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
  • 5/5

    Support & Guidance

  • 4. How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
  • Support and guidance were very readily available. It was standard practice to do pair work / mob sessions on team calls whenever needed, and so it felt very easy to ask to arrange a meeting to just have a quick chat with colleagues if I was stuck on something

  • 5/5

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

  • 4/5

  • How would you rate the social opportunities?

    Your Impressions

  • 6. To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
  • I didn't _enjoy_ it as much as one can enjoy a 9-to-5 job. Which is to say it was interesting, my team were lovely, but at the end of the day it's still very tiring to work 9 to 5, 5 days of the week


  • Please rate your level of enjoyment on your placement / internship
