    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • I was working full time. I was introduced to the team and what they are doing. I completed all mandatory trainings and later trainings on technology my team uses. i worked on a project with help of my teammates. I was working in Java, on microservices, using gRPC. There were many meeting from time to time, which helped me develop as an employee. I was constantly getting feedback and thanks to Goldman I was always comfortable.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
  • I developed a lot as a programmer and as a human being. I learnt about GS culture and improved as a programmer as well. I learnt so many new technologies, frameworks, both theoretically and practically. Team taught me how to problem solve, gave me tips on good practices and constantly showed me how to solve problems, that I could not solve myself. I completed many programming trainings at the start and later used them in practice.

    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
  • I was given my responsible tasks, but as a programmer there was not much possibility to commit grave error. I was constantly supported by my team and thanks to both unit and integrational tests I was sure, that code I wrote does not have any errors. I was forbidden many things, but it was very easy to not leak any secrets and it did not bother me at all. I was happy about real project I got.


  • Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

They were always happy to answer me and I was always encouraged to ask as many questions as I would like. I was given a lot of ways to gather needed info myself as well. I was happy about that way.
