    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • You learn about the company, its values and purpose and how it functions. You work with other interns on a project unrelated to your role, but majority of work is relevant to your role within your specific team. I worked mostly on scripting, automation and DevOps, as well as with some XSLT and XML, and a little bit of front end.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
