Overview
After training, we had daily stand-ups where the team members would discuss what we would be doing that day. We then would get on with our coding which would be very dependent on what project we were working on, adding features, creating pages, making tests. But there was always something to do!
Skills
The training program alone was amazing and allowed me to understand the integration between frontend, backend, databases and APIs. I came in only knowing the basics of coding but now feel comfortable doing full stack development. And then your time on projects also dramatically increases your skills even further.
Responsibilities
We were all but on projects after training, either external or internal, and we would be adding features and pages that would be going live on the applications, so we were given real responsibility. but if we ever felt uncomfortable, then we had plenty of support.
Support & Guidance
The support was amazing! We each had a project manager who we could go to about our project work, but we could also go to pretty much any employee on the project and they were always happy to help. There were people dedicated to helping us in training so we always had someone to go to. We also all had a line manager, who we had weekly status chats with, who we could go to for more personal matters.
Culture
The culture at ghyston is the best I have ever seen, everyone genuinely treats you like a friend and you can strike up a conversation with everyone. There are so many social activities that you can go to including the summer party. a BBQ, a pizza meal and a bowling afternoon, all paid for!
Your Impressions
I had the best few month here and enjoyed every aspect and think that its taught me skills for life!
Yes
Don't let experience hold you back, I had hardly any coding experience and I have got so much from the internship and the training is so good!
